Norwood-Fontbonne Academy is thrilled to announce that the Connelly Foundation has awarded a generous grant of $50,000 to support the development of the next strategic plan with Schultz & Williams.

This funding will guide NFA in shaping a bold vision for the next several years, one that honors its Sisters of Saint Joseph heritage while positioning its students, faculty, and families for continued excellence.

"We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Connelly Foundation for their belief in NFA’s mission and their investment in our continued growth,” said Bridget Bonner, President of Norwood-Fontbonne Academy. “Their support ensures that we can approach this next chapter with clarity, purpose, and the expertise needed to build a strong and sustainable vision."

Throughout the process, transparency, collaboration, and community engagement will remain central priorities. The perspectives and experiences of NFA’s stakeholders will play a vital role in shaping a strategic plan that reflects the organization’s shared aspirations and long-term vision.
