The Alumni Parents Fund Drive is part of the College’s Annual Fund. It is the annual fundraising effort by parents of College alumni/ae. For more than twenty years, Athens College parents have helped sustain the College experience for all students.

Alumni parents’ participation in this effort is important and represents a lifelong commitment to the School, reiterating the strong links with the members of the Athens College community.

The APFD, comprised of parents of Athens College alumni/ae, was established in 1999 as an outcome of their desire to maintain close ties with the School.

Alumni Parents 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.

Members: APFD is a rather informal group. Once the (youngest) child of a family graduates, parents automatically become members of the APFD, unless they opt-out. APFD members meet weekly on School premises to design and implement special events and other actions.

Main actions in support of the Annual Fund:

• Disseminate Annual Fund appeals
  
• Communicate with the other alumni parents (email, social media, calls, in person)
• Organize and/or participate in the organization of special events, including the Christmas Bazaar, Elementary Schools Carnival Dance, concerts, theater plays and other cultural events in collaboration with cultural institutions or other organizations
• Organize trips and excursions in Greece and abroad and guided tours with a fundraising component
