2026-27 Annual Fund Drive

The Annual Fund provides crucial support, supplementing tuition by funding curricular materials, state-of-the-art technology, faculty and staff professional development, supplemental programs and events, and financial aid for qualified students. As a source of unrestricted gifts, the Annual Fund provides the flexibility to direct resources where they are needed most, enabling school leadership to respond quickly to emerging needs and priorities. Gifts are put to work in the same fiscal year they are received, supporting every aspect of CEE's mission to provide an exceptional and inclusive educational experience.

CEE has gratefully acknowledged 98 to 100 percent participation by current parents in the Annual Fund Drive (AFD) over the past decade, with thriving participation from grandparents, alumni, and parents of alumni. Donors are recognized in The Center's Annual Report, and AFD gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Contributing to the Annual Fund should be a top priority for every CEE family.
Please contact Ana Mickle, Director of Annual Giving, with any questions about making a gift.
