Whitefield 2015-2016 Annual Report

ANNUAL FUND
Once again, we are delighted to convey that 2015-2016 was another banner and exciting year for Whitefield Academy. Not only
were we strong in admissions and enrollment, but we also exceeded Annual Fund goals and achieved record financial support.
This Annual Report recognizes those who have given time, treasures, and talent to our school. Your investment in our school
directly supports the incredible faculty and enriches the experience of all of our students, from our youngest preschool learners
to our senior leaders.
The Annual Fund provides the “foundation” of predictable and renewed support and is the entry level for larger gifts possible
for future endowment, capital campaigns, and planned giving programs. Did you know every gift made to the Whitefield Annual
Fund, regardless of its amount, enables Whitefield Academy to make a difference? Your gift provides funding to projects that
have a real and lasting effect on the school, our students, and the wider Whitefield community.
The Whitefield Academy Annual Fund donor roll for 2015-2016 demonstrates the wide impact of this giving. Following are details
of some of the projects made possible by your generosity and a complete donor list recognizing the individuals whose generous
support enables the Annual Fund to have a positive impact on our entire Whitefield community. Every dollar matters.
In recognition of the impact of our leadership giving, Whitefield Academy hosts several events throughout the year for those who
have given at leadership levels - the George Whitefield Society honors $1M in giving; the Headmaster Circle honors $10,000; the
Trustee Circle honors $5,000; and the Leadership Circle honors $2,000. We love to celebrate the giving of our families!
Year after year, generous contributions at all levels help our school enhance its offerings to students, expand its outreach to
alumni, and support exciting new faculty development. You are the most important part of the success in each of these areas
and more, and for this our entire community is grateful.
With gratitude,
Sara Lee Sharp
