Annual Giving

by Emily Henning, Associate Director of Development

Our 2005-06 Annual Giving program is off with a bang! We recently mailed over 2,200 letters to past and potential donors. Our goal this year is to raise $300,000 by December 31 from parents and grandparents. This timeline will guarantee that your children and grandchildren receive the most impact from your investment this school year.

Trustees, alumni, corporations, foundations, and others are also members of our Circle of Friends because they believe strongly in our mission despite the fact that they may not have children who are directly benefiting from an AIS education. Over the course of the school year, we will raise an additional $600,000 from these groups. As parents, your donations early in the year will be a strong motivator for them to join our effort.

Thank you to the following parent volunteers who are serving on The 1984 Club Committee. The 1984 Club is the leadership giving level of the Circle of Friends:

• Cathy Branch
• Kathy Collura
• Nicole Cook
• Mark McCabe
• Jacqueline McGraw
• Jean O’Halloran
• Eleanor Ratchford
• Birgit Schwade
• Tom Schwartz
• Angela Turner
• Kim Valeri
• Patty Webb

Your child’s school needs your support! Donations to AIS help enhance the quality of classroom activities, fund professional development activities for faculty, upgrade technology equipment, and provide scholarships for uniquely qualified students.
