Overview
Established in the early 1980s, the Holy Names Academy Development Program secures annual, capital, and endowment resources so that the school can continue to fulfill its mission – now and in the future – to educate young women of all backgrounds. Through a comprehensive fundraising program, the Academy is able to provide an outstanding learning environment for all its students, regardless of their socio-economic status. Currently, over 30% of HNA students receive financial aid.
The Academy’s Development Program reaches out to all members of the HNA community, and gratefully receives strong and committed support. It responds to the immediate and to the long-term needs of the school.

Annual Giving
Annual Giving
invites the entire Holy Names Academy community (trustees, alumnae, parents,
faculty/staff, and friends) to participate in the excellent educational programs
for which the Academy is recognized locally and nationally. The Annual
Giving Program runs every fiscal year, July 1 through June 30. It provides
financial aid for deserving students, enhances faculty, staff, and coaches'
salaries, and supports special building or school projects. As part of
Annual Giving, a program designed specifically for current parents encourages
them to contribute toward the full cost of educating their daughter. The
2008-2009 Annual Giving overall goal is $550,000.
