Support the Athenian Annual Fund.
The Annual Fund powers our school in countless ways and allows us to address immediate needs both big and small. If you want to help fuel financial aid, enable us to grow our experiential programs, empower us to update our equipment on the fly, give us the flexibility to adapt in the moment to students’ needs, plus so much more, give to the Athenian Annual Fund. Your gift today goes to immediate work for all Athenians.
Endowed gifts power our future.
Unlike donations to the Annual Fund, endowment gifts are invested, with only a portion of their earnings used each year. They give us big support for the long haul, providing a stable source of funding for financial aid, faculty salaries, and maintenance of our campus. Having this reliable and significant source of revenue buffers against unforeseen circumstances and allows us to keep growing and innovating no matter what. Donors can establish a named fund to provide long-term impact for a particular interest that is important to them, or to "pay forward" support they received as a student. When you give to the Athenian endowment, you uplift future generations of Athenians.
Legacy gifts are planning with impact.
Legacy gifts or planned gifts combine charitable giving with financial and estate planning. This type of giving allows you to take action today to support Athenian's mission in the future, with the potential to provide financial benefits for you and your family. Joining Athenian's Pillar Society with a legacy or planned gift is a meaningful way to support the school you love while bringing the satisfaction of knowing your gift will benefit Athenians to come.
