Anniversary

The faculty, students, administration, and I are grateful for your past support to the education here at Dominican Academy.

In this momentous anniversary year, we are placing special focus on the Dominican Academy endowment and its role in safeguarding our future. While we have always maintained a sound financial position, our current endowment of $15 million is a fraction of what peer schools have. Unlike many private schools, we cannot rely upon an annual stream of revenue from the endowment in our operational budget.

A growing D.A. endowment could provide our school and students security and longevity. Our endowment fund is a combination of restricted and unrestricted gifts that are invested to steadily grow over time. When we draw a small percentage of the invested endowment, we are withdrawing from the accrued interest, leaving the principal (original gifts) intact so it can continue to generate more interest each year. In our anniversary year, we are seeking to grow our endowment to specifically benefit our students, our faculty, our programs, and to safeguard our comparatively low tuition that is more affordable than most schools’ on the Upper East Side.

This anniversary milestone calls upon each of us to re-dedicate ourselves to the Dominican Pillars of Study, Prayer, Community, and Service and to reflect upon how we will each uphold the traditions and exceptionalism of Dominican Academy for the future.

Thank you for your generosity to Dominican Academy.

With Deep Gratitude,

Director of Advancement Dominican Academy •
