I’m pleased to report the successful financial performance of Darlington School during the 2024-2025 school year. Highlights from the year include stabilized enrollment, record-breaking fundraising, and a continued focus on preserving and maintaining our historical campus.
Thanks to the hard work of our admissions team, student enrollment remained strong and stable in the 2024-2025 school year. This stability provides a consistent foundation to support our school’s mission and allows for predictable resource allocation to support our students and faculty.
Our generous donors continue to support Darlington to ensure our financial security both now and in the future. The Darlington Fund, which supports our ongoing operational budget, had a record-breaking year. We also continued to receive endowment gifts which provide support for our students, faculty and other important programs. We are very thankful for our loyal donors who support our school.
In addition to our endowment fundraising success, we also continued to receive contributions for historical preservation. These gifts have enabled the school to invest in our buildings and classrooms to improve the academic and residential environment. Our facility partnership with The Budd Group remains positive. We are thankful for their commitment to keep our campus looking its best and operating smoothly.
Darlington has much to celebrate while remaining vigilant to effectively steward our resources and manage the rising costs of our school. We are very thankful for everyone in our community who contributes their time, talents and gifts. Together, we all work together to ensure Darlington is fulfilling its mission to equip our students for future success.
For Darlington,
Natalie Ferguson
Chief Financial Officer
