the afs annual fund school committee challenge

We are pleased to announce that exactly 200 donors together increased their AFS Annual Fund support by $40,000. This met the $20,000 challenge put forth by the 17 School Committee members and Head of School Rich Nourie. This tremendous show of support has thus raised $60,000 in additional funds for this year's program. We have $180,531.45 to go to reach our $450,000 June 30th goal.

the community challenge

We are also pleased to report the launch of a new challenge program. A group of generous community members have pledged to match every Annual Fund gift through June 15. The greater your gift, the greater the match! Please click here for more information on the Community Challenge. Thank you!

giving testimonials

We are collecting donors' thoughts about what giving to the AFS Annual Fund and to the school means to them. See the testimonials of Head of School Rich Nourie and Clerk of the School Committee Margaret Sayers, and send yours to Director of Annual Giving David Eldridge.

here is one way that david has been thinking about the annual fund:

The AFS Annual Fund works the same way as the AFS Maypole: each school year all of us have the opportunity to weave our strand into the School’s fabric by giving a gift that supports every student, every day. Each gift is an expression of faith in our important mission and our place in the world.
