NORTH YARMOUTH ACADEMY
A Message from Director of Development Jennifer Richard
Thank you to the 590 NYA alumni, parents, and friends who invested $1,368,008 to move the Academy forward during the 2017–2018 academic year.
The fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 was a record-breaking year for giving to NYA. Commitments to the Academy from alumni, parents, trustees, grandparents, friends, faculty, staff, and foundations totaled $1,368,008. This year’s total breaks the previous giving record of $860,829, reached in 2013. Achieving these kinds of results requires the support of many dedicated NYA benefactors and volunteers. Thank you to the 590 who invested in NYA and the over 100 volunteers who helped strengthen the Academy. All of us at NYA are profoundly grateful for your generosity. Your support makes it possible for NYA students to discover their talents by exploring their passions in the classroom, on the athletic fields, in the art and music studios, and through close interactions with their teachers. You make it possible for NYA teachers to expand their curriculum and to grow in their work as educators and mentors. Your belief in NYA and your generous investment speak volumes about your commitment to this special place. The 2017-18 Philanthropy Report recognizes with gratitude the many donors who have invested in NYA and inspired us with their generosity. Thank you for making NYA a philanthropic priority. With gratitude,
Jennifer Richard P’29, P’31, P’33 Director of Development 207.847.5429 | jrichard@nya.org
