Our students, faculty, and alumnae are leading change every day. It is our responsibility as a community to prepare the next generation of barrier breakers. At Greenwich Academy, we are committed to developing young women of exceptional character—leaders who embody independence, resilience, courage, integrity, and compassion.
Guided by extraordinary faculty—barrier breakers themselves—our students are inspired to imagine more, reach higher, and lead boldly. Their creativity, innovation, and determination light the path for what is possible. To ensure this momentum continues, we must keep investing in the next generation of leaders—young women who will step forward with confidence, conviction, and conscience. Your support of the 2025–2026 Annual Fund nurtures our students' dreams while supporting their growth through challenges and inspiring them to believe they can—and will—change the world.
That is the power of our mission. That is the strength of our community. Toward the building of character.
OUR STUDENTS, ALUMNAE, PARENTS, FRIENDS, AND FACULTY & STAFF SUPPORT EACH OTHER IN SUCH VALUABLE WAYS, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR BEING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GREENWICH ACADEMY COMMUNITY.
Your gift goes to the heart of our school and supports today's initiatives for:
Annual Fund by the Numbers
Comprehensive and critical, the Annual Fund interlaces throughout GA and is an important thread in every programmatic offering. Greenwich Academy is very fortunate to have a dedicated community of parents, alumnae, parents of alumnae, grandparents, and friends, who together help meet our goal each year. In 2024-2025 the Annual Fund achieved over $3.6 million, with 93% parent and 35% alumnae participation.
Tuition alone covers only 77% of the actual cost of a GA education; the remaining 23% is made up of endowment allocations, income from other revenue, and the Annual Fund. Each year, the Annual Fund contributes approximately 7% of the operating budget, or $4,382 per student, completing the GA experience for all our girls.

Parent Giving
Essential support from our parents ensures GA’s commitment to educating young women while encouraging their development into thoughtful citizens and future leaders.
Familiarize yourself with the importance of parent volunteers and parent giving at GA Parent Partnership.
With the leadership of parent volunteers, GA parents pride themselves each year in striving for over 99% participation and giving a total of $2.5 million, a true testament of our parents’ appreciation for GA and the school’s fulfilling educational experience for every GA girl.
Greenwich Academy is grateful for the parent-school partnership and greatly appreciates your generous participation in the Annual Fund.
Alumnae Giving
GA alumnae of all ages support the school for many reasons, but most commonly because of their abiding loyalty, sense of tradition, and appreciation of the fact that giving back is giving forward. Just as our alumnae’s GA experience was built upon the generosity of those before them, today’s alumnae support current students to ensure that they too have the most advanced educational experience.
With an energetic corps of volunteers, GA alumnae reach high levels of participation each year. In 2024-2025, 35% of alumnae supported the Annual Fund (well above the national average for independent schools) making up 10% of the total Annual Fund.
Our alumnae are valued for their GA pride and enduring energetic commitment to the future of GA girls.
Friends Giving
Friends include: parents of alumnae, grandparents, faculty and staff, and others.
GA friends participate for numerous reasons, but primarily because of their steadfast belief in GA’s mission and character-building education. Parents of alumnae understand GA’s significant role in their daughter’s academic, personal, and professional development. Grandparents appreciate the role GA plays in their granddaughter’s education, as well as the constructive influence it has on the whole family. Our own faculty and staff are committed to and firmly believe in the all-encompassing education and give to support the community and their colleagues.
