Concord Academy
Annual Fund

Together, we make a lasting impact.

Every gift to the Annual Fund—no matter the size—has a direct and lasting impact on Concord Academy’s people and programs. These unrestricted, current-use resources provide CA with the flexibility to meet the school’s most immediate needs and respond thoughtfully to emerging opportunities.

“A gift to the Annual Fund is a shared investment into the people and places that make CA so special—allowing the foundational principles of love of learning, community, and common trust to foster and grow. Your contribution makes possible the generative, collaborative, and thoughtful work that happens in the lab, on the field, and everywhere in between, enabling students and educators the opportunity to be and become their best selves.” –Tracy L. Welch ’89, P’23 ’24

The Concord Academy Annual Fund runs from July 1 through June 30. All contributions made are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged promptly in writing for tax purposes. Thank you for your consideration and support.

We recognize that this would not be possible without the dedicated volunteers who support the daily work of the Annual Fund. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Carly Egan.

Annual Fund FAQs

The Annual Fund is a vital source of financial support that meets a recurring need, each and every year. CA’s $3.1 million Annual Fund makes a crucial difference in day-to-day life on campus and provides a percentage of the yearly operating budget. CA has a modest endowment, so the Annual Fund plays a large role in allowing the school to meet its needs. Every student—both those receiving financial aid and those paying full tuition—benefits from the Annual Fund. Every dollar that is raised through the Annual Fund is spent immediately to fuel CA’s program, people, and learning environment.

Each gift, no matter the size, contributes to the whole. Collectively, gifts from the CA community make a crucial difference in the day-to-day life on campus and demonstrate the commitment of many to the school’s success. We invite you to give at a level that is meaningful for you.

CA needs our community to join forces in ongoing support of the people and programs at the heart of the school. Through the Annual Fund, community participation is an expression of confidence in the school’s mission, and every dollar adds up to make a real difference.

  • Where my gift is needed most — unrestricted gifts provide CA the most flexibility to allocate funds for the immediate needs and priorities of the school.  
  • Financial Aid — these resources help to bring a diverse population of talented students to campus to live and learn together. This is a pillar of our program, and we are proud to provide this kind of supported education to deserving students regardless of their family’s ability to afford tuition.  
  • Teaching Excellence and Faculty Support — these dollars help to attract and retain the best faculty, who bring innovative approaches to the classroom and who inspire lifelong learning. 
  • Student Experience — gifts directed in this way provide support for students to complement their love of learning with meaningful experiences outside of the classroom.
