Why I Give

Good education should be a top priority for our world. In appreciation for the outstanding opportunity the GA experience has provided for our grandchildren, we are proud to participate in the Annual Fund. We are so thankful for the support of the GA community toward our son and his family.

    On my way to pick my son up from SPARK, I contemplated a response to “Why do I give to the GA Annual Fund?”

    I came up with the usual realm of responses: It’s based on personal beliefs, it’s important, it’s my responsibility because of what GA gives to my child educationally and socially, etc.

    Then I got it. As I picked my son up from school, his eyes were full of excitement and his words poured out about the day’s events. I thought, “This is why I give."

    “We give to the annual fund because it feels good. We give as a way to say thank you and show our appreciation to all the teachers and administrators for the good they are doing for our child. Our giving benefits all the children in this GA neighborhood, including ours; it is our part in creating the larger community."

    “I consider myself to be one of a lucky few who have had the opportunity to experience Germantown Academy from all angles. I spent twelve years on campus as a student, ten summers working at GA Day Camp, five years as a Lower School faculty member, and am currently two years into my new role as a GA parent as my son Jack attends the GA daycare."
