Giving Overview
A Message from the OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT
Independent education plays a distinctive role in Reno, Nevada, guiding our young people as they strive to reach their highest potential. Sage Ridge School will continue to be central to this task. We are Reno's only non-sectarian, coeducational, college preparatory day school and are fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Independent Schools.
Since its founding, Sage Ridge School has operated as a not-for-profit charitable organization. Now incorporated under federal and state laws as a 501c (3) tax exempt organization, Sage Ridge School receives no federal or state government funding.
Like almost all independent schools, SRS must rely on charitable contributions from the school community in order to enhance the educational experience, fulfill our mission to provide a top-flight college preparatory program, and maintain flexibility in the operating budget. All donations to SRS are welcome, appreciated, and tax-deductible.
Please take some time to review the following pages to learn more about the unique role that philanthropy and volunteerism plays at our school.
