About
“I appreciate all the faculty and staff here who believed in a confused, scared, and upset 2nd-grader all the way through 8th-grade graduation. Thank you, Charles Armstrong, for giving me great memories, skills, and tools that will last a lifetime.” -Josh B, Class of 2023
The Armstrong Annual Fund: Unlocking Potential, Every Day!
Our Incentive Challenge: If we reach 85%+ Family Participation by December 20, 2024, we will earn an all-school Ice Cream/Shave Ice Party. We are pretty close–please help us get there with your gift today!
“Did you know? Tuition alone doesn’t fully cover the cost of our specialized programs. To ensure our students receive the support they deserve, our Annual Fund must raise $4,700 per student from the entire Armstrong community. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us bridge this gap and create a brighter future for our learners.
Why Donations? It is common at independent schools to rely on the generosity of families to fund a portion of our operating expenses. Approximately 10% of our budget comes from tax-deductible Armstrong Annual Fund donations, providing families with an alternative to paying higher tuition.
Who Gives? The Armstrong Annual Fund is powered by the collective generosity of our entire community: parents and guardians, trustees, faculty and staff, alumni families, grandparents, foundations, corporations, and friends. Every year, we ask all members of our community to make Armstrong a philanthropic priority because what we do significantly changes lives—every gift matters.
