About

We want Days of Giving 2024 to be a milestone day in our Annual Excellence Fund campaign for the 2024-2025 school year. The Annual Excellence Fund plays a key role in support of the students at Athens Academy today. 

Each gift made to the Annual Excellence Fund will support students and faculty directly in:

  1. Teacher Support:
    1. Help us to provide competitive salaries, benefits, and professional development to retain and attract distinguished faculty who will uphold the excellence of an Athens Academy education.
  2. Technology, Fine Arts, and Athletics:
    1. Provide all students the ability to participate in the full ACAD experience to their fullest potentials. 
  3. Need-based Financial Aid:
    1. Support qualified students families by providing access to Athens Academy, regardless of their ability to pay.

How can you help?

Make your gift today! You may restrict your gift to one of the above listed areas or, by entrusting Athens Academy with an unrestricted gift, you empower the school to respond to areas of need as they arise during the year. 

Create a Matching Gift or Gift Challenge! You can motivate your peers by offering a challenge. To create one, click on the "Advocates" tab and then click either the "Offer a Matching Gift" or "Offer a Challenge" button in the Advocate Dashboard. Matching gifts are made on a per donor or per dollar basis (e.g. I will match up to $500 on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the next $500 that is donated -or- I will match $20 per donor in my class). Gift challenges are milestone-based (e.g. if 100 people make a donation, I will give $250). If you would like assistance setting up a match or challenge, please contact DeDe Guest, Director of Development, at dguest@athensacademy.org.

Spread the word! Over these Days of Giving, you can extend Athens Academy's reach by spreading the word about our school's Annual Excellence Fund. You can maximize the impact of your gift and inspire others by sharing on social media why you give. 

We are grateful for the continued support of our parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, staff and friends.

Go Spartans!

Special thanks to Guilherme Damasceno '26, Ryder Crosby, and Josh Alexander for their skills, time, and effort in putting together our Days of Giving video.
