Ways to Support SA: Giving Menu
Annual Fund
Each year we ask all members of the Salisbury Academy community to consider a gift to the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Salisbury Academy education. Annual Funds are common practice among independent schools and help keep tuition affordable so that more students have access to the SA learning experience. It also allows a tax benefit to be realized, as all donations are tax deductible. Learn more about SA's Annual Fund
Corporate Partnership
The Corporate Partnership Program is a way for businesses to advertise with the Salisbury Academy community and beyond, all while supporting the school's commitment to Engaging Minds and Building Futures.

A Legacy of Giving
Like most independent schools, Salisbury Academy is responsible for its own funding. Tuition serves as our primary source of revenue, but it is not sufficient to cover the total cost of a Salisbury Academy education. To remain independent, the academy cannot receive financial support from local or federal taxes. Therefore, we rely on charitable gifts to both balance the yearly budget and provide long-term financial stability for the school.
Salisbury Academy was created through the conviction of its founders who more than 25 years ago put their money where their hearts were and made gifts to hire teachers and buy books before there were any students in the classroom. Through this legacy of giving, the generous donations received from parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends have had an enormous and lasting impact on our school, our students, and our future.
