FBRA Salamander Fund
The Salamander Fund is French Broad River Academy’s annual fund and our top philanthropic priority. Annual fund gifts provide flexible, immediate support for the current school year, helping bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the full cost of providing an exceptional FBRA experience. Simply put, the Salamander Fund supports the magic happening every day at FBRA — inside our buildings and out on the rivers.
The generosity of our parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends allows FBRA to invest in the people, programs, and experiences that make our school so special. A strong Salamander Fund helps us attract and retain talented and committed faculty, provide tuition assistance, invest in classroom technology, offer impactful outdoor programming and gear, sustain our music and arts programs, and provide a variety of extracurricular opportunities.
Every gift to the Salamander Fund directly supports our students and helps FBRA continue its mission to build character and integrity for a lifetime of service, learning, and leadership.
Leadership Giving
Leadership gifts to the Salamander Fund make an extraordinary impact on the FBRA experience. Like a river, that impact grows — a ripple becomes a current, a current builds into a cascade, and together they sustain an entire watershed. At the highest level, our River Guides help steward and strengthen FBRA for today’s students and generations to come.
Ripple — $1,000+
Current — $2,500+
Cascade — $5,000+
Watershed — $10,000+
River Guides — $20,000+
Every gift moves us forward. Leadership gifts provide the strong current that allows FBRA to invest in exceptional teachers, meaningful programs, outdoor experiences, and the opportunities that make an FBRA education so special.
Will my gift really make a difference?
A gift of any size is an endorsement for FBRA and has a much broader impact than its financial support alone. The greater our community participation, the more likely it is that foundations and corporations will consider investing in FBRA. When you give back, you confirm your belief in FBRA’s mission and demonstrate that you value the education that FBRA provides. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you to everyone that has supported the Salamander Fund. Your gift ensures that every student receives the best educational experience possible.
