The Annual Fund

Bright Minds Realized. Because of You.

Annual giving, especially unrestricted support, is the cornerstone of any school's operating budget. Sandhills Annual Fund supplements tuition income to provide for academic programs, extracurricular activities, and financial aid. In short, annual giving ensures continued excellence at Sandhills School. 

For nearly 50 years, supporters like you have helped Sandhills transform frustrated students who learn differently into confident, successful self advocates and leaders. 

Your investment reaps unimaginable benefits to realize the bright minds of all of our students.

Your support will enhance the Sandhills Experience for all students through: 

  • Faculty Development
  • Visual & Performing Arts

Join the 1970 Society

The 1970 Society celebrates Sandhills School’s grassroots founding. In 1970 a group of concerned parents gathered their resources and formed the Columbia Reading Foundation to help tutor their children who were very bright, but struggling to learn to read in traditional classrooms.

Become part of the legacy of generosity and support initiated by Sandhills School’s original Founders. Donors that contribute $1,970 or more each fiscal year to the Sandhills School Annual Fund will be recognized as members of the 1970 Society. We look forward to thanking our 1970 Society donors at the annual 1970 Society Social.

Note: Sandhills School's fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30. If you are making a calendar year-end gift, please be sure your gift is dated and delivered by the last business date in December to allow time for processing and depositing.
