Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the FSA Have an Annual Fundraising Campaign?
Fulton Science Academy is committed to providing the best education to our students, and your support is vital for our continuous improvement. We've successfully completed the first three phases of our school campus master plan, and we now need your help to complete the fourth phase.
What is the Annual Fundraising Campaign?
The FSA Annual Fundraising Campaign is a key part of Fulton Science Academy’s fundraising efforts. The funds raised are used to invest in essential resources for our students that tuition alone cannot cover. Your donation demonstrates confidence in our school’s mission to inspire confident, compassionate students and build leaders with exceptional character.
Who Benefits from the Annual Fundraising Campaign?
Our students are always our top priority! Every student brings a unique perspective to FSA, and we treasure each one of them. We teach our students about the impact one person can make, and similarly, a gift to the Annual Fundraising Campaign benefits the entire FSA community.
Why Should I Give?
We hope you would consider donating because you believe in our school's mission, appreciate our faculty's passion and dedication, and see the positive impact an FSA education is having on your child. Contributions will be put to immediate use as we aim to complete the fourth phase of our campus expansion.
How Much Should I Give?
Please consider donating as much as you can! To help us reach our goal, we suggest a donation of $1,000 per student. Whether your contribution is $1,000 or $10,000, every donation is a testament to your belief in FSA and pride in your family’s FSA experience.
When Should I Donate?
The earlier we receive your donation, the sooner it can benefit our students. We encourage all families to make their pledges by December 31, but donations are accepted until June 30. For maximum year-end tax benefits, we recommend donating before 12/31/2024.
Can Non-FSA Families Donate?
Absolutely! Please feel free to share our donation link with friends, family, and others.
I Already Pay Tuition. Why Am I Being Asked to Pay More to the School?
Put quite simply, given our competitive rates, if we relied on tuition alone to fund the many wonderful attributes that make FSA so special, our tuition costs would skyrocket. Most prestigious private schools like ours rely upon robust Annual Fundraising Campaigns with contributions from families that directly support every aspect of school life. Your gift(s) to the FSA Annual Fundraising Campaign supports the people and programs that make us an award-winning private school. Through these tax-deductible gifts, we are able to recruit and retain talented teachers, offer small class sizes, provide cutting-edge technology, enjoy award-winning extracurricular teams, complete our campus expansion plans, and fill our beautiful campus with laughter, learning, and life-long friendships that form while studying here.
Is FSA Able to Receive Matching Gifts from My Company?
Yes! FSA welcomes corporate support through sponsorships and generous matching gift programs. Please ask your employer about Matching Gift Programs that support K–12 schools. This is a great way to double and sometimes triple your gift to FSA. Please check with your employer.
Are Donations Tax Deductible?
Yes. As a registered nonprofit, all gifts are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. If you make a gift online, you will receive a customized thank you email that can also serve as a receipt for your donation.
