09 2020-21 ANNUAL GIVING
ANNUAL FUND The Annual Fund is the School’s most critical fundraising effort. While tuition covers the cost of education, the Annual Fund ensures that our school has the resources necessary to advance our mission by providing rigorous, multilingual academic programs in an environment that promotes appreciation of diverse cultures and experiences. Each gift goes to support the greatest need of the School, ensuring that we can continue to provide dynamic opportunities and experiences to all our students. Gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax-deductible.
1979 SOCIETY The 1979 Society honors the year that FAIS was founded. Donors who make a leadership gift to the Annual Fund of $1,979 or greater— or grandparents who make a gift of $197 or greater—(including matching gifts) within the fiscal year (July 1–June 30) become members of the 1979 Society. Membership benefits include special communications from school leadership; recognition in the Annual Report on Philanthropy; and an invitation to an annual celebration honoring members’ leadership commitment to FAIS. Thank you to all of our 2020-2021 Annual Fund donors!
