Here's How You Can Help!
Get on Board to Make a Difference in the Lives of Children!
The Development Office is committed to help Foothill Christian School build on the reputation it has earned as one of the most respected private, Christian schools belonging to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools, International (ACSI). As such, our goals are to increase and diversify the school's sources of funding...to foster lifelong relationships with alumni and friends of Foothill...to secure the funding needed to support students, programs and infrastructure. Now, more than ever, private support is crucial to sustaining excellence in student education, teaching and campus life.
The Development Office works to attract the investment of families, friends, alumni, corporations, foundations and others to help us meet our goals to provide a superior, Christ-centered education for all of our students. Please join us in supporting this great school. Your gift, regardless of size, is welcome and appreciated.
Great Opportunities for Parents and Grandparents to Volunteer!
During the course of the school year, there are planned events in which you can play a key part. Whether it's our Annual Charity Golf Classic, Grandparent's Day, the Fall Auction or Spring Jog-A-Thon...your involvement and financial support can make a critical difference. For more information, contact Jerry Kitchel, Director of Development.
Online Giving
Give to FCS through our website. It's fast, safe, and secure.
United Way Campaign
Check with your employer about payroll deduction gifts to FCS through United Way. Those donations can be specifically designated to FCS (account #22570). By the way, many parents who give through United Way are encouraging co-workers to designate gifts directly to the school!
Payroll Deduction Support
Wells Fargo, Well-Point Foundation and Edison International all offer payroll deduction support for FCS. Some businesses even offer a matching gift program that gives the potential of doubling your donation.
Foothill's Business Directory
Buying ad space or selling ad space in Foothill's Business Directory is a great way to help sponsor our 8th Grade Washington D.C. trip or funding support for Chess and Cheerleading national competitions.
E-Scrip
Sign up for FREE with e-Scrip programs! The e-Scrip program allows participating merchants to contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card, and debit/ATM card purchases to FCS. Simply pick up an application in the school office, fill it out, and mail it to the address listed on the form. Or, you can register on-line at www.escrip.com using our Group ID# 3712520.
Target Take Charge of Education
Target donates 1% of Target Visa and Target Guest Card purchases made at Target or at www.target.com, and 1/2% of Target Visa purchases made elsewhere to our school when you designate FCS as the recipient.
Albertsons’ Community Partners Card
FREE cards are available in the school offices. You don't have to use this card to receive discounts, but each time you scan it at the check out counter, Albertsons' refunds a portion of your purchase back to FCS every quarter. Did you know that Starbucks Coffee INSIDE of Albertson's will honor your Community Partners Card so that FCS receives credit?! Also try scanning your card at Sav-On and OSCO ... also owned by Albertson's.
Other Ways to Help Through Planned Giving:
