With well over a century of academic excellence, military tradition and leadership development, the history of Army and Navy Academy runs deep and is multi-faceted. That history has been driven by a spirit of philanthropy that has made the Academy the purposefully unique and proudly exceptional institution that it is today.

Beginning in 1950, when Academy benefactors Arthur and Gertrude Anderson gifted Army and Navy Academy the prime beachfront property where the school still resides, the Academy has relied on the generosity of its giving community to ensure the continuous education of tomorrow’s leaders. Throughout the years, Cadets have benefited from the gifts given to further them and their journey at the Academy.

Gifts support essential programs, including financial assistance to Cadets whose families otherwise would not be able to afford an ANA education, the construction and upcoming renovation of the campus facilities, a robust and rewarding athletics program, and recruiting and retaining a highly skilled faculty and staff. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of running an elite military boarding school. When our community comes together to support the Academy, Cadets benefit. As Army and Navy Academy looks forward to another century of building human excellence, our efforts hinge upon the generous giving of our community.
