Revenue model

1. Tuition: Primary revenue stream from PK-8 tuition. The school is independent and nonprofit, not funded by any government or diocese. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of education, requiring philanthropy to bridge the gap.
2. Annual Fund: Annual fundraising campaign that pays for forward-thinking curriculum, classroom supplies, faculty salaries, facility operations, and much more. As an independent school with no institutional support, the Annual Fund is critical to annual operations.
3. Trinity Talent Fund: Fund to recruit, reward, and retain exceptional educators, fostering innovation and student success.
4. Trinity City Limits (Biennial Event): Major fundraising event held every two years that supports teacher recruitment/retention, professional development, financial aid, and teacher-requested projects. The 2026 event funded solar panels, outdoor D-Lab, interactive whiteboards, and more.
5. Palooza (Biennial Progressive Dinner): Progressive dinner event held every two years supporting Make-It-Happen opportunities and the Trinity Talent Fund.
6. Endowments & Planned Giving: Long-term security through endowment gifts, some restricted to specific purposes and others to general endowment supporting areas of greatest need. Planned giving options for estate planning.
7. SHINE Program Support: Philanthropy supporting the SHINE program for students from under-resourced communities, combating summer learning loss and boosting student achievement at no cost to families.
8. Retail Partner Programs: Partnership with Amazon and other merchants who donate a portion of purchase prices to Trinity.
