Annual Campaign
Dear HBHA Families and Friends,
Last school year, we instituted our first Annual Campaign and it was a success thanks to you! Annual Campaigns are the ‘bread and butter’ of independent school fundraising, especially in light of the fact that tuition alone never covers the entire cost of a private school education.
HBHA remains committed to giving every child a high-quality Jewish and general education, regardless of family income. Our tuition is intentionally low to lessen the barrier to entry, and more than half our students qualify for financial assistance.
We receive generous support from our community partners: Jewish Federation, Menorah Heritage Foundation and Jewish Community Foundation. But the majority of our fundraising comes from YOU, our individual families and friends, and we are so grateful for your generosity. Without your support, we couldn’t keep our doors open and continue to educate generations of Jewish Kansas Citians.
You may be used to giving to Academy Access (AAP) or Ma’ayan or Matmidim or specifically to support scholarship. Now, all of these fundraising initiatives belong to the Annual Campaign, and will be acknowledged as such. We will make sure your gifts are used where they are most needed—operations, programming and financial aid.
This year is an especially important and challenging year. Responding to the COVID pandemic has pushed us to buy more supplies; from hand sanitizer, to air purifiers, to Chromebooks and webcams. HBHA has invested heavily to ensure we are providing a top-tier education in a healthy and safe environment. But none of this came easy or free.
We need your support! Please add your name to our Annual Campaign 2020-21 list by clicking the Donate button above or below this letter. YOU can make a difference to the education and development of our HBHA students, our families and our community.

With warm regards,
Adam Tilove
HBHA Head of School
