H Last year, $105,925 was raised in support of the Kauffmann Program in Environmental Writing and Wilderness Exploration. The Kauffmann Program both enhances the educational experience for NYA students and opens a portal of environmental awareness and experiential education to the greater community. The program features experiential classes and education, outdoor leadership programs, community summer programs, a statewide writing contest, and a community speaker series featuring environmental writers. Funds raised this year supported the purchase of a fleet of sea kayaks and the installation of a climbing wall on campus.
Businesses/Vendors
H The 15th Annual Steve Morris Alumni and Friends Golf Tournament raised nearly $12,000 to add to the Steve Morris Endowed Scholarship Fund that supports annual scholarships for five male and five female student athletes of high character and academic potential.

H Proceeds from the Soirée totaled $141,451 and supported NYA’s core programs, as well as the Kauffmann Program in Environmental Writing and Wilderness Exploration.
H Over $40,000 was raised through the Show Your Love campaign to establish a new scholarship honoring Jack McMahon’s 50 years in education. Each year, the admissions committee will present a financial award to an incoming ninth grader of high character and academic potential who has demonstrated a commitment to taking advantage of the diverse opportunities available at the Academy.
Since 1814, NYA has succeeded at bringing out the best in students and inspiring them to strive for excellence in all their pursuits. This is why I was immensely proud to be invited to join the NYA community. In my short time here, I have been impressed by the talented students, committed faculty and staff, as well as the many families who support NYA with their time, talent, and treasure. Gifts to NYA provide the opportunity to secure the programs and values that have defined NYA for over 200 years and to help the Academy shape new strategies, facilities, and programs that will meet the needs of today’s students.
