2,006 Minutes for AIM
Say Yes to What Comes Next
What is 2,006 Minutes for AIM?
Inspired by AIM’s founding in 2006, 2,006 Minutes for AIM is a special Giving Tuesday celebration that brings together families, alumni, grandparents, friends, and supporters to create opportunities for AIM students.
It’s a chance to celebrate the power of our community and help AIM say yes to what comes next.
When does 2,006 Minutes for AIM take place, and can I give early?
The campaign begins Tuesday, December 1, at 8:00 a.m. and concludes Wednesday, December 2, at 5:26 p.m.
You don’t have to wait until Giving Tuesday to participate! Gifts made now through the 2,006 Minutes for AIM giving page count toward our campaign goals.
What does my gift support?
Your gift supports the exceptional educators, innovative programs, and meaningful experiences that make an AIM education distinctive.
Community generosity helps AIM create new opportunities for students in the classroom and beyond. From academics and the arts to athletics and student life, your support helps students discover their interests, build confidence, and develop a strong sense of belonging.
What are our campaign goals?
Our primary goal is to bring together 100 donors in support of AIM! Every gift, regardless of size, helps us reach this important participation milestone and demonstrates the power of our community coming together.
When we reach 100 donors, their participation will unlock an additional $20,000 gift to AIM.
Together, we’re also working toward raising $100,000 to help create new opportunities for AIM students.
What are the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School Challenges?
Each AIM division has its own participation challenge during 2,006 Minutes for AIM! Families are encouraged to invite grandparents, extended family, and friends to join them in helping their division reach its participation goal.
Have students in multiple divisions? No problem! When making your gift, you can select all the divisions you’d like to support. Your participation will count toward each selected division’s goal.
When a division reaches its participation goal, it will unlock a special incentive for that school community. More details coming soon!
What is the Alumni Challenge?
We’re inviting AIM alumni to come together during 2,006 Minutes for AIM!
Our goal is to inspire 20 alumni donors to make a gift in celebration of their AIM experience and the opportunities ahead for today’s students.
Every alumni gift, regardless of size, counts toward the Alumni Challenge and our overall campaign goals.
How can I help spread the word or volunteer?
Making a gift is just one way to participate!
We’re looking for AIM community members who can help encourage participation by reaching out to fellow families, alumni, grandparents, and friends, sharing campaign information, and inviting others to support their school communities.
Whether you have a few minutes or want to take a more active role, we’d love your help.
