Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the most important fundraising effort at Cape Fear Academy, providing the school with essential dollars necessary for new opportunities and programs.
Cape Fear Academy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We raise funds annually to support enhancements to our campus, as well as experiences that make our school the very best in this region. Funds raised are spent in the fiscal year they are given. These opportunities include field and overnight experiential trips, financial aid, state of the art technology for the classrooms, unparalleled arts and athletics programming, and extracurriculars that allow our students to find their individual talents and passions.
Because every student benefits from these dollars, we hope every parent, grandparent, alumnus and friend will make their own proud gift.

Faculty professional learning opportunities foster academic innovation and ensure that CFA educators stay current with evolving pedagogies. When our faculty have opportunities to learn from colleagues at peer schools, as well as national and international thought leaders in education, they are better able to create student experiences that continue to meet our mission of successfully preparing students for college and life.

Incorporating STEM education into elementary schools isn't just about preparing future scientists and engineers; it's about cultivating well-rounded, adaptable individuals who are equipped to understand and contribute to the increasingly STEM-focused world they'll inherit.
