Endowed & Major Gifts
Greenwich Academy depends on major gifts to help build its endowment and to support specific capital projects and needs of the school.
GA is grateful for the tremendous generosity of all members of its community who, in addition to supporting the school through Annual Giving, have made significant contributions to the long-term strength of the institution through endowment and capital gifts.
“We have always considered the teachers at GA as jewelers. We send our rough diamonds to you and you cut many unique facets and polish them with confidence and clarity in their hearts.”
—Current GA Parent
