Support the 1884 Fund

Venmo @ahnalbany

Graduation is almost upon us here at Holy Names, and we are reflecting on the countless moments of growth, faith, and achievement our seniors have experienced during their time at AHN.


With your continued support, Holy Names has provided a nurturing environment where our young women have been able to explore their potential, embrace their faith, and lead with compassion and confidence.


As we close out this school year, we ask for your help in making a lasting impact on the next generation of women leaders with a gift to the 1884 Fund.

Whether through a one-time gift or a recurring monthly contribution, your donation will help us continue to provide an exceptional education rooted in faith and excellence.
