Annual Fund
The AISV Annual Fund enables us to continually adapt our program to fulfill the mission of AISV, to empower students to aspire for personal growth and excellence in an ever-changing world. While tuition is budgeted wisely, gifts to the Annual Fund allow us to offer extraordinary opportunities that might not be funded through the operating budget. The unrestricted additional funding enables us to provide students with relevant and timely opportunities; it allows us to stay flexible as learning needs develop throughout the year.Annual Fund projects represent going above-and-beyond for the student experience.
We are grateful to everyone who supports our school through their generous gifts at any level; no gift is too small. A gift is not only a financial contribution, but also an endorsement of the school we love. Strong participation in the Annual Fund is inspiring to everyone inside and outside the AIS Vienna community and encourages others to join a successful initiative.

- Should be primarily for student use.
- Can be experiential or for special events (guest speakers, visiting specialists, workshops for students, etc.)
