Annual Fund

For 75 years, you have donated, served, volunteered, graduated, learned, taught, coached, read, chaffeured field trips, attended book fairs, pageants, programs, class parties, helped with homework and much more.

And your support has built Presbyterian Day School into a Memphis institution that builds up boys and makes our city better.

We’re asking you to continue supporting PDS and the work of building boys in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.

PDS is thankful to be celebrating our 75th anniversary this year, and we know that this milestone wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community.

Annual Fund 2023-2024

On Mission.

Sources of Income

Our mission is simple: we strive to glorify God as we develop boys in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. When you walk on campus, you will see our mission lived out as our teachers and boys work together to become stronger in both character and knowledge. You will see first-hand the difference that a PDS education makes in the life of a boy.

Every donation, large or small, makes a difference in helping us educate and prepare young boys for success and a lifetime love of learning. If we want the best learning, we need the best teachers and resources — that’s costly — and not possible based solely on tuition. And that’s one place where the Annual Fund makes a difference.

Tuition dollars cover just under 90% of the true cost of educating a PDS boy.

Sources of Income

As we consider professional development requests for this year, requests for curricular resources, requests for athletic equipment, and the like, it is the Annual Fund that makes the difference between yes and no.

You could say the Annual Fund is the difference between good and great. It makes a huge difference to the boys of PDS.

Join Us: Make a Difference.

Today’s boys are tomorrow’s ground-breakers. One day, it will be up to them to make the world better. We’ll do our best to help them be prepared. That’s why it’s critical to build a foundation of problem-finding, mind-changing, idea-making, and good-doing that they can carry for their entire lives.
PDS is a special and unique school, and a PDS boy is far from ordinary. Your investment in the PDS Annual Fund helps the school remain at the forefront of education.
