The Annual Fund fuels our school’s growth and enriches every student’s educational experience. It is a collective effort where community members provide essential financial support beyond tuition, enabling us to enhance programs and further NLA’s mission.
This year’s Annual Fund took place from September 15 to November 1, and our community helped us reach the goal of $250,000. 142 families gave more than $265,000! Their generosity will make a lasting impact by supporting the six key initiatives outlined below.

FAQs:
Why are we having the Annual Fund? Doesn’t tuition cover the costs at NLA?
The Annual Fund is an impactful fundraiser that goes beyond tuition, enabling us to improve and elevate various aspects of the New Life Academy experience. It allows us to invest in innovative programs, update facilities, enhance extracurriculars, and provide exceptional faculty development opportunities.
What happens when we exceed the goal?
There’s potential for greater impact! For each dollar raised beyond $250,000, we will allocate 50% to making an NLA education accessible through Variable Tuition and dedicate the remaining 50% to addressing our most pressing needs.
Will monthly giving and pledges all count toward the goal?
Certainly! You can make a pledge during the campaign and fulfill your gift by the end of 2025. Alternatively, you can opt for a monthly commitment to spread your contribution over a 12-month period.
Can I designate my gift?
No. If we work together, we will achieve all these priorities!
Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes, your gift is tax-deductible, and a charitable receipt will be issued by the NLA Educational Foundation.
How will my gift be recognized?
We will acknowledge your generous contribution in our annual report. It’s important to note that we won’t disclose donation amounts. If you prefer, you can keep your gift anonymous to maintain your privacy.
