Annual Fund

Invest in bilingual education.

Generous gifts like yours sustain the initiatives that make San Diego French-American School truly exceptional.

The Annual Fund supports the School’s greatest needs by providing leadership with the flexibility to direct resources where they are needed most—from professional development, educational technology, and curricular programs to classroom enhancements, music, the arts, financial aid, and so much more.

Because Annual Fund gifts are unrestricted, they can be put to work immediately, ensuring the School can respond to emerging opportunities and evolving needs throughout the year. Our suggested Annual Fund gift is $1,500 per child, but the key to the Annual Fund is for everyone to give to the best of their ability.  Every contribution, regardless of size, has a direct and lasting impact on the educational experience of every student.

We strive for 100% parent participation.  Elevated levels of participation from parents, staff and governance members also position the school to gain additional support from foundations, corporations, and others looking to invest in the school.  

Thank you for making SDFAS one of your philanthropic priorities. Your tax-deductible contribution to the Annual Fund is an investment in our students, our faculty, and the future of our School.

It took awhile to understand what donations do. For a school to grow and stay relevant, you have to push the boundaries, and that is why I support the school.
