Impact of Giving

Our Donors

When we come together, our students rise higher

When we first arrive on the Hill, we instantly become a part of a caring, inclusive community. And, when we leave, we take RNS with us because we develop a love of this place, its people, and all it represents. We are proud of the alumni, parents, grandparents, employees, and friends who love RNS and generously contribute their time and financial means to ensure our students have the opportunity to succeed on the Hill and long after they have left.

Because of this community of loyal donors, RNS is one of the best independent schools in the country! Thank you for being a part of our community.

Thank you for your support

The following list of names recognizes donors who have made a financial contribution(s) for the current 2025-2026 school year - donations received between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026 to Rothesay Netherwood School, The RNS Foundation, or The RNS US Foundation. The names of supporters of the annual Top of the Hill Dinner & Auction, Spring Art Show and Sale, and the Grade 12 Lobster Dinner are also included in this listing. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our donor lists. If you feel your name has been omitted in error, please contact Nic Carhart in the Development Office at giving@rns.cc or by calling 506-848-0861.
