How to Give

Gifts by Individuals

You can help us make a difference in the lives of the children of St. Louis by making a gift to ACCESS Academies, or by becoming a Sustainer.

100% of all gifts and donations directly benefit the academy program at the schools. ACCESS’ administrative expenses are covered under a separate grant.

Please contact Tom Nolan or Terry Mehan at (314) 652-0200, or by email at info@accessacademies.org

Types of gifts:

  • Cash
  • Stocks or Bonds
  • Planned or Estate Gifts

Becoming a Sustainer:

As a Sustainer, your corporation or organization partners with ACCESS Academies and becomes an integral part of the school’s success.  During the 5-year plan, ACCESS works with you to build a lasting donor-base as you gradually assume the financial commitment to the school. 

A “Sustainer” …

  • Can be a private high school, university, foundation, healthcare provider, family foundation, or corporation
  • Gradually assumes financial responsibility from ACCESS over the 5-year plan
  • Ensures the long term viability of the school by providing organizational as well as financial assistance that goes beyond the 5-year plan
