Futures Institute Building

The Futures Institute building received planning permission from Clackmannanshire Council in July 2023. Since then, things have progressed significantly and the FIDA fundraising campaign has been Dollar Academy’s most successful to date.

Construction has now started on the building, but it is not too late to contribute to our fundraising appeal. For £250 you can secure your name on our donor wall located within the Futures Institute. The wall will be a permanent installation designed by the young people involved in our FIDA challenges. Being on our donor wall means your name will forever be part of the school.  

All our supporters receive regular updates about the building’s progress, the wider FIDA educational initiative, and how your support is making a difference. In addition, you will be invited to the building’s opening ceremony. 

We’d like to reiterate our sincere thanks to everyone who has donated so far, be that through philanthropic support, corporate sponsorship, and the fantastic engagement of our wider school community. 

Alternative ways your donation will support the building are outlined below:
