Independent schools are not dependent upon government support and therefore, rely on income from tuition and endowment, and voluntary contributions to support the school’s operating expenses. The Fund for Princeton Academy is the only ongoing, annual fundraising activity that touches every member of the Princeton Academy community. It is a yearly effort to raise money that is spent in the current year to pay for the day-to-day operating expenses not covered by tuition and endowment income. In other words, the Fund goes straight to the bottom line to help balance the general operating budget.

The Fund provides one of the largest sources of “unrestricted” or flexible dollars for current use during the year in the areas that the school needs it most. These include academic initiatives and enhancements, tuition assistance, library resources, technology upgrades, arts and athletic supplies, academic buildings and grounds maintenance, co-curricular and community service activities. Your gift has a direct and immediate impact on the education of all Princeton Academy students.

Princeton Academy relies on the generosity of the entire school community - including trustees, parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, friends and foundations to support the cost of educating every Princeton Academy student. The Fund for Princeton Academy is one of three primary sources of income for our school. The others are net tuition and fees, and endowment earnings. Because the Fund subsidizes the yearly operating budget, the school depends on everyone to participate every year. 

The Fund for Princeton Academy is one of three primary sources of income for our school. The others are net tuition and fees, and endowment earnings. Because the Fund subsidizes the yearly operating budget, the school depends on everyone to participate every year. Your participation sends a powerful message of your belief in the school’s mission. And a high percentage of participation is just as crucial as the actual dollars raised. We are a small community, which means that when you make a gift to Princeton Academy, its impact is immediate!
