Ways to Give

Gifts to the AIM Fund are unrestricted and directly and immediately support current school activities to address any unforeseen needs, take advantage of new opportunities and keep AIM affordable for as many families as possible.

The AIM Institute for Learning & Research^® is making literacy a priority across our communities providing professional training, partnering with researchers to put evidence-based best practices in the field of literacy to work. Visit institute.aimpa.org to learn more.

Are you interested in honoring someone special – a loved one, a graduating senior, a grandchild, an alumnus, a favorite teacher or coach? Consider making a memorial or tribute gift in their name to AIM. With this gift, you may celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, remembrances, or "just because," and your donation in someone's honor is a wonderful way to express your gratitude and admiration while making a difference at AIM.

For more information, email Brian Kors, Director of Major Gifts, or call 215-948-9350.

AIM Academy welcomes gifts of stocks and mutual funds. Gifts of stock or appreciated securities can be a tax-effective way to support AIM. Normally, donors can claim a tax deduction on the market value of the stock on the day it is donated, and avoid capital gains tax on any increase in market value. The easiest way to donate stocks, securities or mutual funds is to transfer your gift electronically to AIM Academy’s brokerage account.

To receive instructions for this process, please contact Joy Antonoplos.

Strengthening AIM Academy’s endowment is a vital factor in our ability to build our momentum and increase our future financial sustainability. AIM Academy’s endowment can help supplement future expenditures and costs to ensure that students who learn differently will always have a school for generations to come. The intention of the endowment is investment, so that the total asset value will yield an inflation-adjusted principal amount.

For further information about AIM Academy’s Endowment, please contact Joy Antonoplos, Director of Development, 215-948-9335.
