For generations, alumni, parents and friends have generously donated dollars as well as their gifts of time to help create and sustain a thriving college preparatory environment at Columbus Academy. As an independent school, Columbus Academy designs its own programs and operates without financial support from local or federal taxes. Therefore, like all independent schools, we rely on tuition income, annual contributions, endowment income and other fundraising activities to support our programs.
There are five major areas of support for Columbus Academy: |
| • |
Annual Giving |
| • |
Capital/Endowment Programs |
| • |
Planned Giving |
| • |
Parents' Association of Columbus Academy (PACA) Events |
| • |
Gifts-in-Kind (see information below) |
The ideal supporter consistently supports the Annual Fund, increasing his/her gift each year. If the school is conducting a capital campaign, and financial circumstances and emotional commitment permit, the donor may consider a major gift in his/her lifetime to support the construction of new facilities, create an endowed fund or support an academic or extracurricular program. Many in the Academy community also like to participate in special events sponsored by PACA, which generate additional funds for special projects. Finally, a model contributor would make a planned gift via a bequest, trust, life income gift or an alternative option.
Thank you for your support of Columbus Academy at any level – it truly makes a difference in the lives of every student and the faculty who teach them! Gifts can be accepted in many forms.
