AIS ANNUAL REPORT / 2012-2013

henever I tell people that I raise money for a living, the reaction is always the same. The usual response is, “Oh. You’re a… fundraiser. There is NO WAY I would do your job.”

I typically answer by saying that there isn’t a better job in the world! I get to work with amazing people—parents and students, trustees and companies, teachers and alumni—from all over the globe, who are bright, passionate, caring, and generous. And, all of them love this incredible school and its wonderfully diverse and vibrant community. It’s truly a dream job! Indeed, AIS is a great place, and 2012-13 was a great year for giving to it! Through the hard work of volunteers and the Development Office team last year, we were able to raise, in total, an astounding $1,859,009 for Atlanta International School. It was a record year, and we are so grateful to all the parents, alumni, faculty, staff, trustees, parents of alumni, grandparents, friends and organizations who supported the school.

There are many ways to make a financial contribution to the school, but our primary source of gifts is through our Annual Fund. Those unrestricted dollars are so valuable because they make up the nearly 10% of the school’s operating budget that tuition doesn’t cover each year. In the past five years, we have made significant headway in raising total contributions and participation in the Annual Fund—nearly doubling our total from the 2008-09 school year. One of the most significant ways we’ve been able to increase our giving total is by growing our 1984 Club, AIS’s leadership giving society (Annual Fund donors who contribute $1,984 or more). These 161 donors were responsible for 85% of the total dollars raised last year.

Equally important—and on the rise—is our rate of participation in the Annual Fund both from parents and alumni. Last year, 72% of our parents participated in the annual fund, representing a 20% increase from just five years ago. Alumni participation is increasing as well, with 18% of our alumni giving to the Annual Fund in 2012-13. Of course, I won’t be satisfied until we reach 100% for both groups. 2013-14 could be our year!

One of the most significant changes in the last five years is the emergence of Georgia’s Financial Aid Tax Credit program. Through the generosity of parents, alumni, grandparents, C-corps and friends, nearly $500,000 was raised this year alone for the school’s financial aid program. Since AIS began participating in this program in 2008, an amazing $1,239,879.75 in total has been raised in support of financial aid at the school.

Thank you again for making it easy to tell people I have the best job in the world, and for making AIS one of the best schools in the world. Atlanta International School wouldn’t be the same without your support and generosity. We are profoundly grateful.

atlanta international School / 2012-2013 annual Fund

The Annual Fund is the most important fundraising effort at AIS. All contributions raised through the Annual Fund go directly into our operating budget to help fill the gap between tuition revenue and our operating expenses. The worthwhile investments help support all areas of the school-from faculty salaries to financial aid to day-to-day classroom programs. To accomplish the goals of the Annual Fund, it takes the support of the entire community: parents, trustees, faculty and staff, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents and friends. In 2012-2013, more than $800,000 was raised in unrestricted monies.

AIS Parent participation increased to 72% in 2012-13, with two grades in each division winning pizza parties for the highest parent participation. In Primary School, Grade 2 (89%) and Grade 5 (82%) came out on top. In Secondary School, Grade 7 (82%) and Grade 11 (83%) fought hard to reach the top in a very close Secondary School competition. This year, over 79% of our parents participated either by giving directly to the Annual Fund or through their participation in the Spring Benefit. Faculty and staff and the Board of Trustees held their long-standing tradition of 100% participation.

In 2012-2013, there were 161 members in our leader-ship giving society, The 1984 Club, named in honor of the year the school was founded. Their gifts raised 82% of the unrestricted monies for the Annual Fund.

total Giving contribution Formula(Contributions made between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013)

To fully acknowledge the valuable – and often times multiple – contri-butions our supporters make, this formula is used by the Development Office to calculate each donor’s total giving contribution and is used to determine membership in our leadership gift society, The 1984 Club.

Gifts of Cash or Securities to Unrestricted or Restricted Annual Fund

+ Matching Gifts from employers*+ Special Event participation (less any goods or services received)**+ Special Event item purchases (less the fair market value)+ In-kind gifts for the school’s operations (according to fair market value)+ Auction item donations (according to their original fair market value once they are sold)

= Total Giving Contribution for the year

* Individuals must give a minimum of $1,984 personally in order to receive Spring Benefit tickets. ** Your Annual Fund pledge is a separate commitment from any Spring Benefit participation.

Every effort has been made to include all contributors and to verify the correct listing of donor names. If your name has been omitted or listed incorrectly, we apologize and would appreciate notification.

Financial aid TAx CREDIT

Through the Financial Aid Tax Credit, eligible citizens may redirect a portion of their Georgia tax liability to support financial aid for the school of their choice. Since 2008, the Georgia Tax Credit Scholarship program has provided AIS with over $1.1 million in financial aid funding. These funds compose a significant portion of the AIS financial aid budget, supporting students who dually qualify under the state guidelines and the school’s need-based qualifications.

By re-directing your taxes (up to $2,500 filing jointly or $1,000 filing single), you will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit at the state level against your Georgia income tax liability while providing scholarship assistance to incoming AIS students who are currently enrolled in public schools. C-corporations and trusts with a tax liability can redirect up to 75% of their state tax liability. The Georgia General Assembly recently increased the Financial Aid Tax Credit Scholarship cap to $58 million, encouraging S-Corporations and LLC partners to donate a $10,000 per year. As a result of these legislative changes, the AIS community has benefited from a significant increase in financial aid funding. This year alone, the AIS community has donated over $500,000 through the tax credit program.

In the school’s efforts to take full advantage of this innovative program, AIS has partnered with Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship Fund. Your donation to Apogee will allow you to redirect your taxes and benefit students at AIS. Participation is open to anyone who pays Georgia taxes.

Alumni participation in the 2012-2013 Annual Fund set a new AIS record. Over 18% of the alumni com-munity made a contribution to the school. The support of our alumni demonstrates their belief in the school and the education they received during their time at AIS.

More than 100 gifts were made to the alumni Annual Fund this year. A competition was held in the month of March to determine which class could reach the highest rate of participation. The class of 2005 triumphed once again with 40% class participation, resulting in a prize pack of tickets to an exclusive event at the Atlanta Steeplechase and some AIS gear.

AIS is proud to host a myriad of events throughout the year for alumni, including the annual Back-to-School picnic, local, regional and international reunions and holiday gatherings.

It has become an AIS tradition for each graduating senior class to give a Legacy Gift to the school. The gift is divided into two different initiatives: the Legacy Scholarship and the Legacy Gift. The 2013 Legacy Scholarship award went to Estella Dieci ’14, who traveled to China with her father to study at Jilin University in Jilin China.

The Legacy Gift Committee decided to purchase benches for the Early Learning Center. The new benches will be located outside the entrance to the ELC. They will provide a much needed area for parents and students to gather.

The AIS community would like to thank the Class of 2013 for their generous contribution back to AIS.

SpRinG beneFit 2013

We have travelled to Thailand and back, and we must say that the journey was simply… magical! On April 20, 2013, Atlanta International School brought Thailand to our little campus in the heart of Buckhead. Guests enjoyed the sights, sounds, taste and even the landscape of Thailand. The AIS Theatre Department wowed the audience with a moving and memorable performance that included singing and a live musical performance; the highlight was senior Connor Hagan’s silk dancing from the ceiling in the middle of the crowd. It was a tremendous way to kick off a spectacular evening! We even had classical Thai dancing to open and close the night. It truly was a night to remember in Spring Benefit history.

The Spring Benefit began in the late 1980’s to support AIS’s mission of providing the increasingly global Atlanta community with an outstanding independent school. All proceeds from the Benefit contribute towards financial aid scholarships, faculty development programs and continued preservation of the historic campus buildings.

This year’s Spring Benefit netted more than $300,000 for Atlanta International School. A truly remarkable element of this fundraising effort was the $150,000 we raised during the Stand & Pledge campaign for financial aid. Our amazing journey to Thailand would not have been possible without the time, talent and resources of our devoted Spring Benefit Council. We give enormous thanks to Myrna Antar, Scott Britton, Linda Bruner, Lorraine Charman, Lan Chiem, Marcelle DeCuir, Vickie Gore, Roane Loudermilk, Tracie Slosberg and Yupha Vatcharapijarn.

PARENT oRgANIzATIoN MESSAgE FRoM daWn haWkinS, PRESIDENT

I read an article recently on education in America and the fact that, as our cultural landscape continues to evolve in the classroom, our schools must learn to truly embrace multi-cultural collaboration. It discussed the ways that cultural differences-values, traditions, languages, racial attitudes-are natural barriers that can only be overcome if the greater school community is united in a common sense of purpose. And that sense of community can only be built through open and respectful communication, grounded in a common purpose and inclusive of all stakeholders.

I loved a couple of things about this article, one being that AIS has been growing, nurturing and thriving in this landscape for more than 25 years. We are so lucky to be part of this truly global community with its incredibly diverse cultural representation, all striving to enrich the experience of our children and families here at AIS. It’s what drew us to the school as a family. It’s messy, but oh so beautiful.

The other thing that struck me was that the words used throughout this article - “collaboration”, “communication”, “community”, “inclusiveness”-are all included and are the core of the Parent Organization mission. Every parent or guardian is a part of the Parent Organization (PO). We all work to create an inclusive environment where we can foster a strong sense of community as we honor one another’s cultural perspectives. We strongly encourage every parent to participate, because we believe that the strength of our community is built from collaborative efforts of the parent body as a whole.

It was another busy year for our community, as parents and students dealt with many changes such the opening of the ELC, new school schedule, revised carpool and security protocols. These transitions were successful because we have a collaborative community that openly communicates and has a common sense of purpose. And this collaborative community is nurtured by our continued deliberate focus to enhance the experience of our families by looking for new ways to make personal connections: connections with families in each grade; connections between new families and the school; connections with fellow members of our diverse community across the grades.

Our room parents and grade representatives led the charge by creating multiple opportunities to make connections within the grade for students, parents and families. I hope you were able to attend a parent social and engage in conversation with fellow parents about challenges and experiences that your children or you are facing. Or perhaps your grade’s families gathered together at one of the wonderful multi-cultural events put on by the PO during the year. What better way to get to know the new families in your grade than to pull up a picnic blanket at the Back-to-School Picnic or at WorldFest?

Our Family Ambassador program continued their efforts in embracing our new families as they came into our community. It can be overwhelming to step through the doors of AIS, and we strive to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible and that every new family is connected to someone that helps both parents and students successfully navigate those first days and months at the school.

Our Culture Clubs and Booster Clubs create many wonderful opportunities to make connections that showcase the incredibly rich fabric of our community. WorldFest is the premiere cultural event and arguably the biggest celebration and best presentation to the greater Atlanta community. Where else can you spend an afternoon immersing your senses in the tastes, smells, and traditions of 30 or more countries? Over 300 parents, faculty and staff worked together to make WorldFest 2013 a success. All of our Culture Clubs are important contributors to community life, tirelessly bringing specific cultural events to the school, including German Christmas Market, Persian New Year, Jazz in Black and White and La Kermesse, just to name a few. Our Sports Boosters and Arts Alliance committees bring passion and commitment to the continued development of our sports and arts programs. From Spirit Nights to the 10x10 Art show, these groups bring our entire community together to make connections across grades and language tracks and celebrate AIS beyond the classroom.

Many new faces joined our veteran volunteers this year. These folks from all areas of the school and all corners of the globe greatly enrich the AIS experience for our children and our families, and I feel truly honored to have been part of this collaboration that is the fabric of our community.

our missionTo meet the challenges and opportunities of our interdependent, fast-changing world as responsible citizens, young people require flexible intellectual competence, self-discipline, and a global outlook. To achieve these goals, they need rigorous academic preparation and a passion to become the best they can be. To thrive in and contribute to this world, they must have a solid sense of self and respect for others—as individuals, as members of a group, as citizens of their nations, and as members of the global community. Extraordinary individuals will be called upon to shape the 21st century. The mission of Atlanta International School (AIS) is to develop such individuals.

To fulfill this mission, AIS commits itself to the following goals:– to sustain and grow the exemplary level of teaching and learning that has earned it a world wide reputation for excellent standards in international and multilingual education within the framework of the International Baccalaureate; – to develop each child fully by helping each one to live our core values: the joy of learning and purposeful effort as well as mutual respect and understanding in a diverse setting; – to maintain an optimal size and composition of faculty and students to maximize the opportunities for learning and shared understanding that are necessary for a healthy community;– to help shape and improve local and global communities through the committed participation of its multilingual students, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff.

our core ValuesWhat We believe Is Fundamentally ImportantWe believe that encouraging each student to discover the intrinsic joy of learning and purposeful effort will help each one to set and achieve high academic standards. Furthermore, we believe it is vital to nurture mutual respect and understanding among all members of our commu-nity. Together we cultivate a spirited sense of hope in human potential. We believe the diversity of our community provides an extraordinary opportunity to enable our students to communicate, create, and collaborate in order to build a peaceful future.

The joy of learning and purposeful effort We want our students to experience joy in their intellectual, physical,social, and emotional development. At AIS we will create a safe, stimulating educational environment, promoting the wonder and curiosity that motivate a student to explore learning in and beyond the classroom throughout life. We believe that achievement derives from sustained, purposeful effort and that our potential is best developed by learning to think critically, debate confidently, and push our limits. Ours is a community that nurtures and celebrates disciplined and myriad intelligences, and we approach teaching with the expectation that every student will be successful.

Mutual respect and understanding in a diverse community We believe that every human being is valuable and deserves respect. We further believe that respect springs from understanding and that the best way to understand others is by learning to see the world from other points of view. Since each language reflects the values, history, and way of thinking of those who use it, learning another language is a particularly effective means of understanding and respecting others. We believe that a cohesive community of students, faculty, staff, and parents from many backgrounds—socio-economic, ethnic, racial, linguistic, national, and religious—provides an ideal setting for the development of respect and understanding and helps prepare students to thrive in a diverse, interdependent world.

AIS non-discrimination StatementAtlanta International School practices a full non-discriminatory policy in all school-administered programs and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national and ethnic origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation or gender preference in all of its admissions, educational and employment policies, programs, and practices.
