T he Importance of the Annual Giving Campaign
Our donors and supporters make it possible for The Hutson School to provide an individualized and hands-on education to our students with learning differences. Our Annual Giving Campaign helps us maintain our 6:1 student to teacher ratio and ensures that our students realize their potential. Student tuition only covers a fraction of our operating budget. The remaining funds must be raised through Hutson's fundraising activities. Like all independent private not for profit day schools, Hutson receives no public or government funding and relies solely on tuition payments and outside support. The Annual Giving supports our operating expenses that are not covered by student tuition such as technology, financial aid, and building repairs. Annual Giving gifts are tax deductible and are vital to the continued success of The Hutson School. Alumni, parents, faculty, and friends may contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign through various giving vehicles including:

  • Major Gifts (for scholarships, building renovation, and academic enhancement)
  • Planned Gifts
  • Corporate and Foundation Gifts
  • Estate planning  

The Hutson School is a not for profit 501(C) 3 Corporation. Student tuition and contributions support a major portion of the school's annual operating expenses. The Hutson School operates on a budget of $1,000,000.00

You and your organization can be part of the miracle of growth at The Hutson School in two ways.

The Paul Stewart Scholarship Fund
Dr. Paul Stewart, Medical Director of Behavioral Care at Community Hospital and board member of the Hutson School, was a true advocate for children with learning differences.
