The Annual Fund is a yearly fundraising campaign that supports the school’s operating budget. It provides crucial resources for program and facility enhancements, financial aid, professional development, and provides support for extracurricular activities, clubs, sports, arts initiatives, and other programs.

The Annual Fund is a pillar of the school's revenue. This collective, community-driven fund fills the gap not covered by tuition or endowment income. This resource is powerful in its immediacy, and it must be replenished every year to sustain core programs and fulfill the school's mission. 

Tuition alone does not fully cover the cost of an Antilles student’s education. The Annual Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of running the school, allowing us to keep tuition increases moderate while still offering an exceptional education.

The participation of our community is a testament to your strong commitment to the mission and vision of our extraordinary school. Each gift we receive inspires additional giving, creating a collective and significant impact that will benefit every student throughout the year. 

Only you can answer this question. Because these gifts have a direct impact on the day-to-day activities at Antilles, we hope you will give at the highest level you feel most comfortable with.

Many companies match gifts made by employees to charitable organizations such as Antilles. The matched gift counts on your Antilles giving record, and your company will receive recognition. Be sure to check with the HR department at your company to find out if they have a matching gift program. 

If you own marketable securities (such as stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares) that:
1. have appreciated in value, and
2. you’ve owned for at least a year
You can gift them to Antilles and earn a tax-deductible donation equal to its full current market value. You will not pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation over your original purchase or basis price. Consider this option and maximize your giving dollars!
