The SSDS Endowment Program
SSDS has a goal of raising a strong endowment to ensure our School’s future financial security.

What is the difference between the Annual Fund and an Endowment Fund?
Endowment funds are established by individuals or families and are generally designated for a specific purpose (e.g. scholarship). Unrestricted funds can be used for any purpose. The interest earned on the fund balance is allocated to SSDS quarterly. The interest is used to supplement and enrich programming at the school.
