ALUMNI GIVING
The alumni giving campaign is the highlight of our summer, because we see such a surge in good will and
desire to help. Alumni are special, because their only stake in the school is their faith in it. When donating
they don’t gain anything but helping others have the same great experience they had at the College.
Many of them come to visit the campus in the quiet months of July and August. Perhaps not coincidentally
that is when most of alumni giving happens.
Here is a summary of the 2018-19 alumni giving campaign:
Total gifts: 48,705 leva
Number of alumni who gave: 118
Champion class with largest sum of donations: Class of 2002 with 18,500 leva and 16%
participation rate
Top 3 most popular giving categories:
53% unrestricted; 37% financial aid; 5% student activities
“I want to make sure ACS keeps attracting the most incredible individuals,
and preparing Bulgaria’s most capable students for a life of significant impact.
Empowering alumni to support ACS financially so it can become more affordable
for all Bulgarian families is thus paramount.”

The ACS alumni are a group of friends. They have a vibrant network which lights up during the campaign.
As every year, the campaign was driven by the tireless efforts of Alumni Fund Advisory Committee’s Chair
Georgi Klissurski ‘10, assisted closely by Nikola Kouzmanov ’02 and AFAC members Yana Staneva ‘12,
Alex Kanov ‘12, Nicole Levakova ‘16, Kalina Kourdova ‘11, Hristo Popov ‘01. In the decisive stages they were
joined by Alexander Tomov ‘04.
