Welcome to GFA Giving Day!
GFA's Fourth annual Giving Day is here! Get excited for another great day of Each for All spirit, red and blue rivalries, and a day of pride and support for our school.
Check back in with us throughout Giving Day to see updates, and to learn how your donation can have the most impact.
This year's Giving Day performance was unlike any other. Propelled by the last matching gift of the day from the Board of Trustees, we have raised a record-breaking $1,010,447 from 1,070 donors. The energy on and off campus was that of infectious joy and pride. We look forward to sharing our totals from the day alongside our full list of prize winners and a recap of our on-campus events tomorrow.
Once again, thank you all for your commitment, generosity, and celebration of our school. Your investment makes so much possible for our students, staff, and faculty members. If you have not made a gift, please consider doing so before midnight tonight to be counted among those who went All in for GFA!
We all know that Dragons dig deep and considering what a resounding success the day has been, we are setting our sights high on a new goal of $1,000,000 and 1,000 donors — Giving Day records that will eclipse last year's incredible totals of $935,887 and 990 donors. At GFA, we share a fundamental belief that we can do hard things and to help us achieve this milestone, our remarkable Board of Trustees has offered an additional match for every dollar raised (1-to-1) up to $51,925.
To everyone who has supported GFA today with their gifts of time, talent, and resources, we are deeply grateful. If you haven't given, please join us in going #AllinforGFA!
After the Upper School Blue team surged ahead to 48-46 this afternoon, the Middle School Red and Blue teams battled to the finish. When adding in the classroom challenges, it brings our final schoolwide total to...
Blue 83 — Red 73
While both teams left it all on the field, the winner of GFA's 2024 Giving Day challenge is the Blue team! Click here to see photos from today's events.
In recognition of a combined 78 years of service to GFA by Betsy Bergeron, Carolyn Skiba, and Gail Gibb, anonymous middle school parents have created a challenge that will unlock $25,000 when we reach 780 donors. Thank you all for your continued support in going #AllinforGFA!
The school day isn't over yet and thanks to you and your generosity, we have reached our goal of $592,024!
This Giving Day and Teacher Appreciation Week, we're recognizing a combined 78 years of service to GFA by three known and loved members of our faculty and staff who are retiring at the end of the school year: Betsy Bergeron, Carolyn Skiba, and Gail Gibb. In honor of these extraordinary women and their remarkable contributions to our school community, we have increased our goal to $780,000!
To help us reach our goal, anonymous middle school parents have created a challenge that will unlock $25,000 when we reach 780 donors. Thank you all for your continued support in going #AllinforGFA!
The Blue Team has the lead after Upper School Field Day! Now it's up to you, Middle Schoolers!
Making a gift today? Here's a cheat sheet to attribute your gift to your child's class year!
We are thrilled to announce that we have already raised $480,000 from over 500 donors — 80% of our goal of $592,024.
To help us reach our goal, a generous group of GFA Fund captains and parent leaders has offered to match every dollar raised (1-to-1) up to $50,000. Thank you for your support in going #AllinforGFA!
