Cooper Annual Fund

The Cooper Annual Fund, Cooper's primary fundraiser, is designed to provide additional support to the School's operating budget. Revenue from this campaign helps the school fund its daily operations and accomplish immediate campus improvements and upgrades. Annual Fund gifts are 100% tax deductible for the donor.

We enrolled our children at Cooper because we knew they would receive an exceptional education, and we remain at Cooper because of the community. Our family has made many friendships, and we enjoy visiting with parents and their children at sporting games, arts events, and family nights. We value the community at Cooper - the power of a tight-knit community cannot be shaken.

We are honored to serve as co-chairs of this year’s Cooper Annual Fund. With your support, we can uphold the values of connection and excellence that make our school stronger. Every contribution, no matter the size, strengthens our bonds and builds a bright future for us all.”
