Funds for Founders (2025-26)

   

🎯 Funds for Founders (F4F) 2025-26 Campaign!

The Archers Council is excited to kick off our annual Funds for Founders (F4F) campaign on Friday, October 17th! This year, we’re aiming high with two bold goals:

• Raise $150,000
• Achieve 100% family participation

Every dollar raised directly supports our school and helps us invest in the people, programs, and places that make Founders special.

💡 Why Give?

Did you know Founders receives $7,100 less per student than Leander ISD? That’s a $4.9 million gap we can’t close alone—but together, we can make targeted investments that strengthen our school and fulfill our mission.

Your donation helps us provide stability and excellence year after year. Our giving policy ensures that all funds are invested wisely and transparently.
