TA Annual Fund
What an extraordinary season this is for Tuscaloosa Academy! We are in the midst of a transformational capital campaign that will give our students a long-awaited new gym and athletic center. At the same time, it's important to remember that the Annual Fund remains our school's highest fundraising priority. Tuition and fees cover the everyday costs of operating TA, but the Annual Fund is what allows us to grow, enhance, and elevate the student experience each year. These dollars go directly and exclusively toward improvements that benefit our students' learning, well-being, and daily life on campus.
The 2025-2026 Annual Fund made the following upgrades possible:
Renovated cafeteria bathrooms for our students’ daily use
Enhanced landscaping to create a welcoming first impression of campus
A new bus to safely transport our students
These are the kinds of enhancements that tuition alone does not cover, but they directly impact the day-to-day experience of our students.
Our goal remains 100% participation because every gift is statement of belief in Tuscaloosa Academy and in that students we serve. When our school community comes together, it sends a powerful message about who we are and what we value.
Please consider giving any amount today!
This past year, we also hosted "A Knight Under the Neon Moon," a benefit for the Annual Fund that raised close to $50,000! Guests enjoyed live country music, BBQ, and an exciting silent auction featuring luxury trips, fine jewelry, exclusive TA experiences, and even a playful puppy!
