Giving to FRA > Annual Fund

2008-2009 Annual Fund Drive
“Every Gift Matters … Every Year”

Advance our mission by giving

The Annual Fund is Franklin Road Academy’s main fundraising priority, because it provides immediate budgetary support for numerous improvements:

• the latest technology
• the best teaching tools and classroom equipment
• across-the-board support for our athletic and arts programs
• safety and security provisions for everyone on campus
• maintenance and upkeep that make the campus so attractive and increased opportunities for teachers to grow professionally.

These are direct benefits to our students right now and enhance their lives every day. While we are mindful of tomorrow’s needs, we cannot neglect today’s requirements.

Our goal this year is $300,000 with 100% participation from our families. We are confident we can reach this, but we need your help. Gifts are 100% tax deductible and can be made in the form of cash, stock, credit card or pledge.

I cannot give much — will it even make a difference?

Absolutely! Every gift — no matter the size — makes a difference. Participation is the key when it comes to the Annual Fund. All gifts work together to benefit our students and teachers.
