Every Family. Every Year.

Every Opportunity for Our Students.

Thanks to the generosity of the Pidskalny/Robertson family, all donations, regardless of size, were matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000, doubling the contributions of many of our early donors.

Further grow your impact! Many Alberta employers offer programs to match charitable donations. Companies often match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio. Often, this applies to retirees as well.

Calgary Academy is a CRA-registered charity and is registered with Benevity.  

We are proud to be a part of this community and see the value in giving back through the Annual Fund campaign. I am privileged to work for an employer who supports the community in which it operates. Cenovus generously offers employee charitable contribution matching, up to a 2:1 dollar matching. Through this program we can double our donation and double the impact it has in the lives of students.

CA Parents / Donors

The act of giving is highly personal. We encourage every family, every year, to consider an amount that is meaningful for them. Gifts to our Annual Fund range from $25 to $25,000. Your gift, combined with others from our school community, helps turn dreams into reality TODAY! 

Tuition and government grants cover the costs of day-to-day operations, such as keeping the lights on and paying our teachers’ salaries. However, the funds required to enhance the learning environment, support large capital projects, and address more immediate student needs are only possible through the generous annual gifts of our CA community. 

Support our students in an area meaningful to your family.  

Invest in our campus and learning spaces to provide exceptional learning opportunities for our students and teachers.

Fund the future of education with innovative academic programs and enhanced professional learning for teachers.  

Provide CA students with the education they deserve, regardless of financial circumstances.

Offer flexibility for the school to respond to arising challenges and exciting opportunities.

A contribution to Calgary Academy’s Annual Giving campaign is the first and most important gift we ask of every parent, grandparent, alumni, family, teacher, staff member, and friend. It is the best way to make a difference in the lives of our students and the financial strength and sustainability of CA.

CA’s Annual Fund provides a unique community opportunity to collaborate and to impact directly, in a truly transformative way, the unique needs of our CA learners.

Your participation shows the strength of our close-knit community and helps us to leverage other gifts. True excellence at CA requires a steadfast dedication to time, talent, and treasure. The collaborative impact of Annual Fund gifts is truly transformative for our CA students.
