Non-Profit Status All Saints' Episcopal Day School is a not for profit organization (501(c)3) which operates without any local, state, or federal funding. Like all independent schools, All Saints' relies solely on tuition income and broad voluntary financial support to meet its financial needs. This financial support includes income from the Annual Fund, fund raisers, Capital Campaigns, and the Endowment Fund.
