Ways to Give
1/10
The Annual Fund Campaign is essential to making this vision a reality. Whether it’s the exceptional teachers, hands-on science, ability-based math, or IMP projects your child loves—none of it would be possible without the support of the Annual Fund. Like most independent schools, tuition alone doesn’t cover the full cost of providing the high-quality education Acera offers.
- Faculty and staff salaries, ensuring we retain top talent
- Classroom materials and cutting-edge technology
- Professional development for our teachers
- Facilities upkeep and improvements

This fund honors Acera teacher Reed Hollett, who passed away suddenly in 2015, and pays for low-income students to attend Acera’s after-school, vacation weeks, and summer enrichment programs. On the first Thursday of February each year, Acera hosts a Trivia Night for Parents to raise money for this scholarship fund.

Donating property to Acera School allows you to avoid tax on the appreciation in value and receive a current charitable deduction on your income taxes.

Remembering Acera School in your will through a charitable bequest reduces the amount of your estate subject to estate tax.

When you create a charitable remainder trust, you guarantee a gift to Acera in the future. In return, you receive both an annual income from the assets you use to fund the trust and an immediate tax deduction. A charitable lead trust works the opposite way. Acera would receive an annual income stream from the trust assets for a period of time, then the remainder goes to your heirs.
Acera School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All contributions to Acera are tax-deductible (Acera School Federal Tax ID: 32-0303877).
