Capital Campaigns

Capital Campaigns

NCCS, like most independent schools, relies on capital campaigns and major gift fundraising to build new facilities, renovate existing spaces, and purchase additional land or properties for faculty housing. The Board of Trustees votes to initiate a capital campaign, and members of the community are asked to support the effort. Capital campaign gifts are often multi-year commitments, and pledges may be paid over three to five years. 

The Boldly Forward capital campaign, which concluded in 2022, raised $25 million, funding the Susan Haigh Carver ’51 Dining Hall and Commons, as well as the  Athletics and Wellness Center. 

Capital giving is transformative. Donors who contribute to support critical building and infrastructure initiatives that advance the school's strategic priorities have a lasting impact on current and future generations of students.

We are now in the early stages of our next campaign, which will enhance our outdoor learning spaces and significantly expand our endowment. Gifts to both the Annual Fund and strategic initiatives over the next five years will support this comprehensive campaign, and the entire community will be invited to be part of this exciting collective investment in our school’s future.
