Support

Annual Giving

Your gift makes a difference

Annual gifts from alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends further the Academy’s mission and provide support for all areas.

Cadets are the primary beneficiary as gifts make possible enhancements not provided by tuition revenue.

The Riverside annual fund year runs from June 1 - May 31 and gifts are given within that time period.

Gifts may be designated to specific areas, although, unrestricted gifts allow the Academy’s leadership to apply funds to the most urgent opportunities for support. All gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

  • Endowed Scholarships

    Annual gifts provide yearly support for program enhancements and projects at the Academy, but larger gifts made over a three to five year period may fund endowed scholarships, capital projects, or provide needed assistance for already existing programs at the Academy.
     
    Endowed Scholarships: $25,000 and up
     
    Scholarships, both merit and need-based, are an ongoing opportunity for support at Riverside. An endowed scholarship may be set up by an individual donor or a group of donors starting with a minimum gift of $25,000. The endowed fund is housed in The Riverside Military Academy Foundation and co-mingled with other endowed funds to maximize investment earnings. Each fund is tracked individually and the annual earnings provide scholarship aid or aid to existing programs. Several endowed scholarships exist at Riverside and donors may choose to contribute to one of these or establish their own endowment.
