The ASFM Endowment Fund was created to provide long term stability to the school.

Besides the original funds that resulted from the sale of an important asset, the primary sources of the Endowment Fund are approved restricted funds transfers and specified donations.

The Endowment Fund should be maintained in perpetuity; so that future generations of Eagles may benefit from it as well.

• Raise enough financial support to fund the 3 new projects.
• Positively impact the way our 2400+ students learn.
• Encourage our families to participate in this great campaign!

A family can donate any amount they feel comfortable. However, it is important for you to know that to completely fund the 3 projects, the amount per ASFM students would be $5,000 pesos.

Edge of Excellence projects will provide our students with the knowledge and tools necessary to confront and resolve important issues of their lives. These projects will give our students the opportunity to be launched from an advantageous platform into the real world.

The new projects have been chosen based on input from last year’s post campaign survey and based on their direct link to the ASFM vision, mission, and strategic plan.

Each year we have a tentative budget based on our goal. At the end of the campaign

the design of the projects is adjusted depending on the funds that have been raised from donors. We start out usually with a $200,000 annual USD budget per project.
