THE LOYALTY

FUND

The Annual Giving Campaign that Makes a Difference

Each gift to the Ashley Hall Loyalty Fund provides the general operating budget with financial support that is used to buttress the School’s highest priorities. By matching their personal philanthropic preferences to the School’s operating budget this past year, friends of Ashley Hall saw the impact of their generosity first-hand in a programmatic area that inspired them. These generous gifts enriched learning and achievement in academics, the arts, athletics, and areas of the School’s greatest need.

Academics

Gifts to this area reinforced the exceptional interdisciplinary academic curriculum at Ashley Hall dedicated to inquiry-based learning that prepares girls for the challenges of the future and supported professional development for faculty members.

Arts

Support to this area helped students to reach their greatest creative potential and expand their horizons. A gift to the arts supported each student’s creative expression and the development of her global mindset.

Athletics

In addition to championing the development of leadership skills as part of the School’s comprehensive athletics program, contributions to this area promoted sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, wellness, and a positive attitude in each Ashley Hall girl.

Area of Greatest Need

Donations to this area enabled the School to evaluate the needs of students and faculty with a degree of financial flexibility. Each gift reflected pride in the mission and traditions of Ashley Hall and its commitment to fostering a culture of community on campus and beyond.

The 1909 Society, Ashley Hall’s oldest giving society, honors donors who annually give $1,909 or more to the Loyalty Fund. The 1909 Society, founded in 1984 to mark the 75th anniversary of Ashley Hall, is open to the community and offers special benefits. Gifts from this leadership giving group comprise approximately 70 percent of all dollars given to the Loyalty Fund. We thank the members of the 1909 Society for their leadership, philanthropic contributions, and continued commitment to Ashley Hall.
