Donate NowDear Alumni/ae, Parents and Friends,

We received hundreds of gifts and raised over $220,000 for the 2009-2010 Annual Fund.  In fact, we had our strongest giving year to date!  Our Annual Report of Giving and Thanks will be published in the 2010 fall Mountain Ear.  Many thanks to the current parents who made a special effort this past year, as well as our loyal foundations, friends and alumni/ae!

Now we have high hopes for this year’s Annual Fund!

What are this 2010-2011 goals?

As of August 1, $50,000 has been pledged or received towards the 2010-2011 Annual Fund.  Our 5-Year Strategic Plan calls for a 10% increase over the previous year’s goal, and we are aiming to reach $245,000.  Additionally, we seek to boost participation with gifts of all sizes from parents, alumni/ae and friends.  

Whether you make a gift because you know our program well or because you simply wish to help young athletes reach their goals of high-level competition and college, NSA truly appreciates your support.

The Annual Fund is devoted to:

  • Scholarship support for talented and deserving student-athletes

  • Professional development for our coaches and staff

  • Technology upgrades 

  • A restricted purpose as designated by the donor
    You can restrict your gift to a specific program or department, or can let us use your contribution where it is most needed!

How do I learn more about NSA?

Each year, many new friends become acquainted with the school and support its programs.  We are more than happy to send to new friends an NSA Welcome Packet full of information about our kids and programs.  Simply call Angela at (518) 523-3460 ext. 29 or send an email to:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and we will put one in the mail.  Unlike most independent schools, NSA relies heavily donations from friends of the school.  

Gifts from people who admire our students’ dedication and dreams help make this school the premier choice for aspiring winter athletes.

What is the best way to make a gift to NSA?

Giving to the school has never been easier.  

  • By using the DONATE NOW link, you can quickly make a secure gift to NSA using Network for Good.  You can also make a gift over the phone by calling (518) 523-3460 ext. 29.

  • You can send a check in one of the remittance envelopes found in our newsletter or by sending your gift to the school in care of Angela Price at NSA 821 Mirror Lake Drive, Lake Placid, NY 12946

  • A gift of appreciated securities can be made by making arrangements with Angela Price at (518) 523-3460 ext. 29.

How do gifts from alumni/ae make a difference?

Gifts from our 500 alumni/ae accomplish two things:
  • NSA benefits from alumni/ae gifts since major donors who wish to see our alumni/ae participation grow give additional funds to the school when alumni/ae giving surpasses 22% (beating the national private school average).

  • You benefit by helping to keep your school a vibrant and positive place to live and learn for students who now have the opportunities you once had.  By making a small contribution each year, you are giving back to the school, teachers and coaches who gave so much to you.

Please use the tabs above to look at our Annual Reports and to read though our quarterly newsletter, the Mountain Ear.  It is our hope that you can see that your contributions, of all gift amounts, make a real difference in the lives of young aspiring athletes.  On behalf of our students and staff, thank you for supporting NSA!

Sincerely,

Angela Price
Director of Development
