The 2020-21 Holy Angels Annual Fund

Please consider supporting the AHA Annual Fund!

The two main funding priorities for the 2020-21 Annual Fund are:

1. Support the the new and increased need of our families during the time of COVID-19.
   Because many of our families experienced furloughs, reduced hours, and lost positions, AHA provided nearly $300,000 in additional financial aid this school year (a 10% increase).  We are asking our donors to partner with us, so we can continue to provide access and share the AHA education with as many students as possible. 
2. Construct a new Innovation Center (iCenter) for STEM Education through a complete remodel of the Convocation Center’s third floor.
   Finalize the funding and commence construction on this final project identified as a priority in the Our Call: To Lead & Serve capital campaign. This exciting new space will be comprised of a new state-of-the-art science lab, three additional classrooms, and a new Welcome Area for student gatherings. The light-filled, flexible, and professional design will encourage collaboration, student-led research, and creativity.

We hope you will prayerfully consider contributing in any level you can.

Alumni Support!

The 2018-20 We Are Holy Angels! Alumni Challenges increased alumni financial support so that the school could serve more students and more effectively.  In 2018-19 AHA Alumni responded with enthusiasm going from 900 donors to 1200 alumni total donors - a 28% increase!  In 2019-20 alumni total giving was up by over 35%.  Thank you alums!

We are hoping that once again, AHA can count on its alumni and their incredible generosity in 2020-21!
