The Annual Fund - A Bridge to Our Future

Challenge Update

The Board of Trustees and Administration are proud to announce TWO challenge grants for this year's Annual Fund.

Giving Challenge
The Board of Trustees will match up to $30,000 of new gifts - so that's any new gift or increase in giving from last year. This challenge will end on December 31, so make your pledge today!

Participation Challenge
One of the founders of the school, an alumni grandparent, has challenged other grandparents to increase their participation in the Annual Fund. If grandparent participation reaches 35% by December 31, an additional $10,000 will be added to the Annual Fund!

About the Annual Fund

The St. Anne’s School of Annapolis Annual Fund provides important financial support to the school’s general operating budget and is always the first priority of our fundraising. Not only does a robust Annual Fund help cover the school's operating expenses, but it enables us to continue adding value to the St. Anne’s School experience. By providing unrestricted support for the annual operating budget each year, donors support everything that happens at St. Anne’s School.

Tuition alone cannot support the research-driven curriculum,thriving fine arts and athletic programs, and essential social and leadership development opportunities that our students and faculty need. St. Anne’s School must rely on the voluntary gifts of its own community to fulfill its mission.

The Annual Fund helps to ensure that St. Anne’s School maintains:

  • An outstanding faculty
  • A diverse student body
  • An exceptional curriculum
  • Meaningful community service programs
  • Consequential leadership initiatives
  • A rich variety of athletic and fine arts programs

Contributions can be made directly to St. Anne's School through a check, credit card, gift of appreciated securities or by making a pledge. A pledge creates the flexibility to plan a gift over time, and may allow for a gift with greater impact. Planned giving options are outlined in the Planned Giving section and your financial advisor will be able to discuss the best ways to structure your giving.
