Fund for Falmouth Academy
Every Mariner. Every Day.
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?
Why is the Fund for Falmouth Academy so important?
Current students and faculty benefit every day!
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.
It makes FA accessible to all qualified students.
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.
Participation counts!
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.
Maximize Your Impact with a Recurring Gift
Does a $5 gift really make an impact? YES! Gifts of all sizes matter, and you can exponentially increase your impact by considering a monthly donation. It may not seem like much but when $5 or $10 recurring gifts from multiple donors are combined, they can total thousands of dollars for FA. To enroll, simply choose "Recurring Gift" at the top of our online giving form.
FA Giving Day
Every spring, we invite the Falmouth Academy community to come together to celebrate the school through 24 hours of giving! Aligning with important school traditions, FA Giving Day celebrates and honors the dedicated faculty, staff, and coaches at Falmouth Academy. We welcome all of our supporters—alumni, parents, parents of alumni, faculty, students, and friends—to share their gratitude for FA and to come together in the spirit of philanthropy.
Senior Parent Gift Fund
The Falmouth Academy Senior Parent Gift Fund is an important tradition within the Fund for Falmouth Academy. Every year, 80% of each senior family gift is automatically applied to current-year faculty development, and the remaining 20% strengthens the Senior Parent Gift Endowment, providing lasting support for faculty growth. Our goal is 100% participation from all senior families. Every gift counts, in any amount.
By contributing, senior families leave a meaningful legacy of gratitude and show our students the power of giving back to a community that has given them so much.
