NW Academy

The NWA Board of Trustees is committed to greater successes in fund raising. This will be accomplished by involving more people - particularly parents and families - in the fundraising process. The outcome will be a stronger Annual Fund, a growing endowment, and a readiness to launch a successful capital campaign for ownership of our school. Parents are asked to support our fund raising programs with personal charitable support and by inviting others, including family and friends, to join in supporting our school. Without public tax support, the NWA relies on charitable giving to sustain the high quality education for the diverse group of bright and creative students who enroll here.


	THE ANNUAL FUND Annual giving provides the funding needed to close the budget gap between tuition and the actual cost of education. This difference amounts to more than $1,500 per student a year. Every school year starts knowing that each student receives a "hidden scholarship" that is funded by your contributions to the Annual Fund 15% of the annual operating budget is earmarked for need-based student scholarships and those funds are generated by gifts to the Annual Fund. Raising scholarship dollars is critical at NWA because one in five students at NWA receives need-based support averaging $7,500 a year. Opportunities to give are made through direct mail appeals, the annual Parent's Fund Phonathon, as well as online giving.
