ENVISION SUSTAINING SUPPORT
annual
fund Interlochen’s Annual Fund serves as a vital foundation for our daily operations, ensuring that our Excellence and Access priorities have immediate support. Over 4,300 alumni, parents, friends, and foundations support the Annual Fund each year — a shared statement that the world is a better place with Interlochen in it. Thanks to support for the Interlochen Public Radio Annual Fund , our listeners enjoy news they can rely on and classical music they treasure; each year, more than 4,400 fans of IPR give to this fund. Separately, the Interlochen Annual Fund and the IPR Annual Fund help Interlochen satisfy many of its most important and, at times, most urgent needs, including some of our need- and merit-based financial aid, student performance tours, visiting artists and guest presenters, campus and facility improvements, support for our talented faculty and staff, and promotion of Interlochen. In addition, the funds allow Interlochen to respond nimbly to unexpected opportunities for the betterment of our students, campus community, and the IPR listening audience. Combined, gifts to our two annual funds provide over 13% of Interlochen’s budget.
The Annual Funds also enable support from alumni, Camp and Academy parents, current employees and staff, IPR listeners, and members of our community at giving levels that are within the reach of more families than leadership or endowment giving.
Since June 2021 and through January 2025, more than 14,000 donors have made the continued progress of Interlochen a priority with donations to the IPR Annual Fund, the Interlochen Annual Fund, or both. Your gifts, totaling more than $6.7 million to the IPR Annual Fund and $22.5 million to the ICA Annual Fund, inspire our work every day. Continued support of these two funds is as important as ever and will propel us into our second century with essential resources to advance our mission.
