Frequently Asked Questions
The Baron Fund is Blue Ridge School’s yearly fundraising campaign supporting all operations on campus. Contributions are tax deductible and support everything from faculty salaries and new curricular initiatives to athletics and clubs.

Tuition does not cover the full cost of a Blue Ridge School education. Gifts to the Baron Fund bridge that gap and provide the necessary resources to fully cover the breadth of the Blue Ridge experience – an experience that alumni, parents, and friends of the school have come to know and love throughout the school’s rich history.
Trustees, alumni, parents (both current and past), grandparents, faculty and staff, friends of the school, corporations, and foundations all contribute to the Baron Fund. Each group plays a critical role in the success of yearly Baron Fund campaigns. The amount we raise matters, but so does participation. We encourage everyone to give to the best of their capacity, as participation in the Baron Fund sends a strong message of community-wide support of the school’s mission. Foundations and major donors look to the Baron Fund engagement as a key determinant in their funding decisions.
