Soar Into Spring: Unlock $45K for SAA
From May 5 - June 6, we invite you to Soar into Spring with us by participating in a special challenge in support of the Annual Fund. A generous donor has pledged an exciting match to SAA’s Annual Fund if we reach 100% family participation by June 6!
Whether you give $5 or $5,000, every gift helps us soar closer to unlocking this incredible boost to our Annual Fund. You’re not just donating—you’re casting a vote of confidence in our students, our teachers, and the future we’re building together.
Don’t wait. Be part of this community effort to help SAA Soar into Spring and beyond.
Why Give to the Annual Fund?
SAA is committed to enriching student experiences, creating new opportunities, and building on the vibrant, supportive environment that makes SAA such a special place.SAA understands that gifted children are not defined solely by traditional academic achievement but by their openness to experience, creativity, and the power of abstract thinking. We are committed to providing them with a specialized, differentiated, and challenging educational setting that supports their intellectual growth, fosters social-emotional learning, and encourages collaboration.
As an independent school, SAA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit institution operating without the state or federal funds that public institutions receive. Therefore, we count on our community’s annual support of our school.
Every Gift Matters
Your participation—at any level—demonstrates a shared commitment to SAA’s mission and strengthens our school community. 100% participation sends a powerful message about the vital role SAA plays in our students’ lives. Every gift directly impacts our students and teachers, ensuring we continue to provide an exceptional educational experience.
We invite every member of our community to give at a level that is meaningful to them.
Giving Levels
We are grateful to SAA families and friends who care deeply about the critical work that we do and who make SAA a philanthropic priority.
