The Alumni Fund Drive is an integral part of the College’s Annual Fund scheme. It is the annual fundraising effort by alumni volunteers - the class agents - who represent their class, fostering community building among classmates and with the School and encouraging classmates’ giving in support of the Annual Fund.

For more than fifty years, Athens College alumni have helped sustain the College experience for all students. 

The AFD was established in 1967 at the initiative of visionaries Platon Mousaios ’30 (Hellenic-American Educational Foundation) and Dimitris Karamanos ’59 (Athens College Alumni Association SAKA President), supported by then Athens College President James H. Beaverson. The aim was to motivate alumni to support the College’s Scholarship Program in an organized and sustainable way. The AFD launched its activity in 1968 with Angelos Canellopoulos x50 as its first President. In the years that followed this pioneer initiative came to be one of the most significant institutions of the College.

Alumni make a difference.

Annual giving plays a crucial role in sustaining the College's renowned financial aid program. Today, more than 20% of our student body receives financial aid, of which close to 50% is funded through gifts from members of the Athens College community. Collective participation empowers our students and future alumni.

AFD and the Development Office work closely with the Athens College Alumni Association (SAKA) to keep in contact with the broad AC alumni base. In so doing, they enrich AFD representation of the classes, and motivate our alumni to engage with the School by participating in events and activities, as well as supporting their multifaceted work.
