Impact:SAAS, the Annual Fund is our critical annual fundraising effort. We call our annual fund Impact:SAAS because annual gifts of all sizes have a tremendous impact and elevate the SAAS experience, rooted in educational excellence, to something truly transformational. 

A strong annual fund enables us to meet the immediate needs of students and faculty, and to say YES to evolving opportunities in curriculum and programs, financial aid, technology, faculty professional development, student-initiated activities, and more.

Our goal is to raise $1.75 million with 100% family participation and community support! Your donation helps get us there!

Our Annual Giving Family of Funds invites donors to direct gifts to a vital area of SAAS: Area of Greatest Need (where most families direct their gift), Financial Aid, Curricular Enhancements, or Arts & Athletics.

Your early support is important. Gifts to Impact:SAAS, the Annual Fund immediately support the current school year’s operating budget. Gifts during our annual fund effort from September to December can enrich programs in real time for students and faculty. Gifts are tax-deductible in the calendar year received.

Annual gifts of all sizes benefit our program and are deeply appreciated. SAAS families are asked to participate with a gift that is personally meaningful for you. We hope each SAAS family considers making SAAS their top philanthropic priority.  Our leadership giving starts at $5,000.

Corporate matching gifts are a great way to double or even triple your gift and maximize impact! Check below or see if your corporation matches gifts here. Make sure to 1) indicate you’ll get your gift matched when you donate online or email us at development@seattleacademy.org and 2) reach out to your HR department to get your gift matched.

Each spring, we come together at our annual community-wide fundraiser, SAAS in the City, to raise critical funds for Financial Aid and support our commitment to equity and inclusion. This lively evening features student performances, alumni speakers, and remarks from leadership, along with good company, food, and drinks. A “Raise the Paddle” appeal and mobile giving option for Financial Aid donations rounds out the night. This is a fantastic event not to be missed!
