Help Raise Parent Participation Rate

For the first time in AIS history, we have raised $500,000 during the first half of the school year! We will continue to pursue last year’s Annual Fund total of $529,000. The 1984 Club, our leadership giving society, raised $382,101 through a total of 120 members. We appreciate the show of commitment to AIS and its students and would like to thank each and every one of our donors for their very generous support at all giving levels.

As of today, 60% of all AIS families have already supported their children by contributing to their education with a donation to the Annual Fund. For the second half of the 2004-05 Annual Fund drive, we will focus our efforts on raising the participation rate to 100 percent. Corporations and foundations are motivated to contribute to independent schools with a high rate of parent participation within their fundraising efforts. You can help raise our parent participation rate to give even more support to our students and teachers.

If you have not yet supported AIS through a donation to the Annual Fund, please consider joining our Circle of Friends now. All funds received will be invested this school year for the direct benefit of your child.
