Flintridge Fund

What is the Flintridge Fund?

The Flintridge Fund is a community-wide fundraiser supported by current parents, parents of alumnae, alumnae, grandparents and the Board of Directors. The Flintridge Fund drives the unique opportunities and programming that teaches 21st century skills, unlocking students' limitless potential to positively impact the world. In addition, the fund ensures that more families have access to critical tuition assistance, furthering our mission to create a diverse community.

Why is the Flintridge Fund Important?

The Flintridge Fund is our most important fundraising effort. It is a line item in our current year operating budget, representing about 7% of the total. Annual gifts make up most of the difference between what tuition covers and the actual cost of educating each student (about $7,000 per student).

Our annual giving season is every year from July 1 to June 30 and annual gifts range generally from $10 to more than $50,000. Everyone is asked to participate. 

Gifts to the Flintridge Fund are tax-deductible and support the extra things that make our school great such as small class sizes (that is, teacher salaries), professional development for faculty and staff, an extended financial aid and scholarship program and enhanced and expanded curricular and co-curricular programs.
