Foundation Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors featured in the Spring/Summer 2020 edition of Reveille
Read below for Admiral Farragut Academy’s Foundation Annual Report for 2020.
It is early spring 2020 as I write this letter inviting you to survey the Foundation’s achievements during 2019. I realize what a difference a few months can make in life, society, and for the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation. Who would have envisioned just a few months ago what our nation and world would look like today? Still, the Foundation’s mission continues and has never been more important.
The $509,231 raised in 2019 from 181 donors continues to put the Foundation in a position to achieve the goal of $10 million in assets by 2022. During 2019, nearly $1.2 million was identified as new Heritage Society gifts (those individuals who have added Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation to their estate plan), more than doubling the previous year’s numbers. Gifts to the Foundation’s scholarship endowments helped Farragut attract the best and brightest students whose potential should not be limited by financial constraints.
Gifts to the Foundation’s Founder’s Fund are helping Farragut families with much-needed financial aid during this critical time. For those of you who are experiencing financial hardships of your own, we know that this is not the time to give. But for those of you who are able to help, any level of support makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. We have processes in place to ensure that funds flow rapidly to support our families through the Founder’s Fund at farragut.org/giving.
This annual report represents only those gifts to the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation in the 2019 calendar year and illustrates many positive accomplishments. Even though our world in 2020 looks greatly different and our assets have been setback slightly, we have every reason to trust that our Foundation will continue to grow in size and importance. And we know that Admiral Farragut Academy will continue to offer a powerful independent education while serving the state, country, and world beyond.
I am privileged to be able to write this letter as the representative of a very capable and dedicated Foundation Board of Trustees and a very committed and generous school community. Thank you for your continued support of the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Kolchin ‘61N
President, Foundation Board of Trustees
