Philanthropy at AWS

The generosity and tradition of giving in our Annie Wright Schools community enriches the experience of every student in our care. Your time, expertise and resources help us prepare students to be the leaders our world needs.
Philanthropy plays a critical role in our ability to expand our reach, invest in our facilities and support faculty, staff and students in their pursuit of excellence.

Annual Gifts, participation in our Auction Events and support of Fund-a-Need fulfill immediate needs, while investments in the Endowment and Capital Campaigns provide stability and infrastructure for our historic institution. Each of these efforts is mission-critical and every member of our community is vital to success.

You can see all that philanthropy makes possible in the art on the walls, navy & gold uniforms on the soccer field, the college map populated with markers for the institutions where our most recent graduates will continue their education, and in the smiling faces of our students as they come together on campus.

Thank you for providing the tools, resources and experiences that make an Annie Wright education so special.

From strength to strength,
