KHA in the Community

Sections: Press • Newsletter • Fundraising • Grants • Friends of KHA

One of KHA's guiding principals is to continually seek out and make connections with the communities in which students reside, and with agencies across the state of Rhode Island.

We here at KHA have made great strides to leave a lasting impact on the community. In 2008, KHA was selected by the U.S. Local Business Association (USLBA) for its Best of Saunderstown Award. The USLBA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country that have enhanced the positive image of small business through service to their customers and to the community. For more information on the award, click here.

KHA strives to build partnerships with higher education institutions, Rhode Island artists, grant organizations, local businesses, and other schools in Rhode Island.

If you feel that you could help KHA with this guiding principle, please e-mail our Principal, Stephen Panikoff, at spanikoff@kingstonhill.org. We welcome volunteers and partnerships!

Fundraising

Donations help Kingston Hill Academy maintain a high caliber of education. There are many ways that one can help the Groden Network, all of which fill important needs in our organization.

Pave the Way to KHA

Take advantage of this special opportunity to leave an enduring memento on a personalized brick in the KHA courtyard. Select from one of the three sizes with prices starting at only $100. A personalized brick at Kingston Hill Academy is a great gift idea for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions. Kingston Hill Academy will invest the proceeds from this program in classroom equipment for its students.

Other Giving Opportunities

Cash is the easiest way to give a gift. Each year we conduct an Annual Appeal to benefit our students and programs. All of our contributed dollars are kept in a separate bank account and are spent in direct service. None of our contributed monies are spent on agency overhead or administration. We will send you a letter acknowledging your gift that you may use for IRS purposes. You can deduct a cash gift for income-tax purposes only in the year that you make the contribution.

Online giving coming soon! To make a cash donation, call (401) 274-6310 ext. 1230 or email lbeliveau@grodencenter.org
