The Annual Campaign is the school’s annual fundraising initiative. It directly impacts our students and faculty every day and enables the school to achieve its vision of “empowering Jewish minds and engaging Jewish hearts” by enhancing the fundamental curriculum, educational excellence, and vibrant Jewish Life programming that parents expect when they choose King David for their children.
King David relies on Annual Campaign contributions from parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and alumni to elevate academics and enhance student experiences.
Frequently Asked Questions:

Where does the money go?

Why is participation in the Annual Campaign so important?
King David High School relies on your gifts to continue its tradition of offering an exceptional education through progressive practices, and to provide opportunities to all Jewish families through financial assistance.

How do I make a gift?
You can make a gift online here. Your gift to King David can be made as a one-time gift, or as a pledge over a period of time with a credit card, cheque, or transfer of securities— whichever works best for you. -
What is the difference between a one-time gift and a pledge?
A gift is an outright financial contribution via cash, cheque or credit card. A pledge is a commitment of a specific amount to be paid at a later date.

The two options make giving to King David feasible for all families. -
How much should I give?
The amount of the donation is at the discretion of the donor. King David asks all members of the school community to contribute to the Annual Campaign at a level that is appropriate for them. Every gift helps close the gap between tuition and the cost of providing the only co-educational, pluralistic Jewish high school education in Vancouver. -
