Fund for Falmouth Academy

Each year, unrestricted funds provided by generous donors are immediately put to work through the Fund for Falmouth Academy, which ensures a meaningful and transformative educational experience for our students.

Why is the Fund for Falmouth Academy so important?

FA students and faculty are the direct beneficiaries of the Fund for Falmouth Academy.  This unrestricted fund supports the work of our dedicated faculty, provides tuition assistance for our students, enables our sports teams to compete across the Cape, and helps students find their voice in rhetoric class or chorus rehearsal. It also helps pay for critical infrastructure improvements and provides support when unexpected expenses arise.

Tuition, endowment earnings, and other revenue do not cover the full cost of an FA education. Currently, the Fund supports approximately 11% of the school's annual operating costs. From the moment the doors open in the fall, nearly $2,400 of every student's learning experience is supported by gifts to the Fund for Falmouth Academy.

Contributions to the Fund for Falmouth Academy increase a key fundraising benchmark: the "Participation Rate." The higher our rate, the greater our advantage as we compete for grants from foundations and other philanthropic organizations. These gifts exponentially impact the entire community, and your participation is key.
