A Community That Changes the World for the Better
One Mission. Three Pillars. Your Legacy.
At the American School of Warsaw, giving is a reflection of our values and a powerful expression of our mission-driven, non-profit identity: We are determined to be the community that changes the world for the better. Since 1953, the spirit of generosity has been the heartbeat of our school, providing the margin of excellence that allows us to remain a world-class standard institution.
While tuition provides the foundation, it is the collective spirit that accelerates our ambitious plans and empowers us to be even bolder in our vision for the future of your child. Recognizing that every member of our community contributes differently, we invite our village to take pride in our shared success and contribute through the three pillars that sustain us: Time, Talent, and Treasure.
Choose Your Pillar of Impact
Gift of Time: Strengthen Our Community
A thriving school relies on the energy and dedication of its members. We value your time as highly as any other contribution.
Gift of Talent: Share Your Expertise
We invite our "village" of parents, alumni and partners to share their knowledge to launch the next generation of leaders.
Gift of Treasure: Fuel Our Ambitions
Your financial support acts as an accelerator for our most ambitious projects. 100% of your gift is reinvested into the student experience.
Ways to Donate
Making a financial contribution to ASW is simple and secure. We offer several methods to suit your preference, whether you are looking for convenience, tax efficiency, or long-term sustainability.
Donate from Poland
Donations can be made through our Polish fundraising entity The ASWfor Foundation - www.aswfor.org - either by bank transfer, credit card, or BLIK, using the link below:
Donate from the US
For our American community, we have established the ASW Foundation (US). Donations made through this 501(c)(3) organization are tax-deductible.
- Support Us Regularly: Small acts, repeated over time, create a massive impact. You can set up a recurring monthly donation (standing order) to provide the steady, sustainable support that allows us to plan for the future.
- Get Your Company Involved: Many organizations offer "Matching Gift" programs that can double your donation, or have CSR budgets dedicated to education. Check with your HR department to see if your employer will match your contribution to ASW.
Maximize Your Impact. We are committed to making the donation process as seamless as possible. No matter which avenue you choose, every contribution directly enhances the educational experience of our students. If you have specific questions regarding tax deductibility in Poland or the US, or if you require assistance setting up a corporate transfer or matching gift, our Advancement Office is here to guide you through the logistics. Thank you for investing in our community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why to give to ASW?
Donations give us more flexibility to accelerate our plans in key areas identified by our Strategic Plan: these investments will take ASW from a great School to an extraordinary one.
Why can't tuition pay for this?
Tuition covers the general operation of the School - including salary for our staff, running costs and essential maintenance of our premises, supervision, equipment, and supplies. Any capital developments and major initiatives typically have to be funded from other revenue sources. Fundraising allows us to accelerate our plans so the students here can benefit from enhanced facilities and programs.
Why is my participation important?
Every gift - no matter how big or small - counts and inspires the generosity of others. Sharing a high rate of participation among our parents is encouraging to everyone inside and outside the ASW community. It shows faculty that parents support their work and it inspires other parents and alumni to join a successful initiative.
How will my gift be recognized?
All donors are thanked, recognized on our Culture of Giving tree and listed in the Donors section of the Annual report. If you do not wish your name to appear, gifts can be designated as “anonymous”.
Is my donation Tax deductible?
Those who pay income, wealth, or corporate taxes in Poland, donations to ASWfor Foundation are tax deductible under Polish law. For US taxpayers, ASW Foundation is a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and all contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the US law.
Can I donate to a specific ASW program?
Yes, while making your donation you can specify which program or cause you would like to support.
