Give

The SFC Annual Giving Program is the vehicle in which we generate much-needed funds to enrich the student experience at our school. Through the generosity of our families and friends, we raise the money each year that has an immediate impact on our students both in and outside the classroom. Typically, annual funds are not used for capital improvements or endowment (those are raised through other efforts).

A donation to SFC is an eternal investment in our kids, our school, and our world. Your gifts allow us to expand student opportunities and experiences at SFC, that would not exist on tuition alone. Annual Giving profoundly impacts their academic and spiritual life by providing the best practices in teaching; mission trip offerings; technology upgrades; enhanced student safety & security; athletic improvements; cutting edge programs such as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math); and accessibility to our school through financial aid. Your gift makes a DIFFERENCE. Will you help us reach our goal of 100% participation this year?

We encourage everyone to participate during SFC Annual Giving Days in October. We look to have all donations in by December 31 to assure the dollars raised can be put to immediate use. However, SFC’s fiscal year runs through June 30, 2020, so your gift is welcome any time through that period.

Yes, you always have that option.  However, we prefer to receive undesignated gifts so that school leadership can direct the funds to where they’re needed most. 

We have hundreds of contributors who give with uncommon generosity every year. Current families, faculty/staff give generously and additional giving comes from grandparents, Alumni, Alumni parents, and even corporate matching gift programs.

We ask that each donor prayerfully consider the gift amount for their family. We do not have a designated amount for giving. Every gift is appreciated and matters, no matter the amount.

No. Annual Giving is separate from the Auction in the Spring. Both raise money for the school but are distinct philanthropic efforts.

Yes. Our goal is for every family to participate in our Annual Giving Program. As previously mentioned, it doesn’t matter how much you donate. The important thing is that we are “all in” and in unity with other families in supporting the best experience possible at SFC. Your participation inspires others to give.

Yes. Many employers will match your gift to SFC, please work directly with your employer. Corporate matching doubles your gift and thus doubles its impact on SFC.

All gifts are greatly appreciated! Occasionally we recognize Donors alphabetically, by name only, in SFC publications and on our web site. In addition, those who donate or pledge $3000 or more by November 15, 2019 also receive 2 tickets to the annual Christmas Gala at The Fairmont Grand Del Mar. Of course we respect those wishing to give anonymously and will honor that upon request.

So glad you asked! We are always in need of additional volunteers. Please email Ronnie Forougi at [email protected] or call (858) 755-9500 x1098.
