2021-22 FVS Annual Fund Appeal

YOUR gift to this year’s Annual Fund will help FVS RECOVER, REFOCUS and RECONNECT as a community.

Because of YOU FVS’s future is in excellent hands.

The FVS Annual Fund makes up the difference between revenue from tuition and the actual cost of our educational programs and school operations. The Annual Fund is the only source of flexible and readily available funding for the School and provides the critical ability to respond to the uncertainties that we continue to face during these times.

Annual Fund dollars benefit every aspect of the School and funds go to work immediately, impacting every student and every faculty, every day.

We hope that you will consider prioritizing the Annual Fund first in your giving to FVS as this will immediately support our areas of greatest need. And while the financial goal is important, participation is one of the strongest indicators of our community’s support of the School and thus just as meaningful.

RECOVER. We will recover from the last two years as we re-establish predictability and support, as well as a strong sense of security for our students.

REFOCUS. We will refocus by using our experience from the past two years to strengthen our educational principles and programs.

All while being guided by our core values.

RECONNECT. We will reconnect by attending to the culture that is uniquely Fountain Valley. By moving forward stronger, better, and TOGETHER!

Matching Gift Programs Many employers sponsor corporate matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions that their employees make. Matching gift programs can double or possibly triple your donation. Contact your company’s HR department to find out if they offer a matching gift program.

Despite the many challenges we have faced over the past two years, Fountain Valley School remains steadfast in delivering the quality educational experience for which we have been known for the past 91 years. As part of our Fountain Valley family, we know you understand the importance of providing an education dedicated to high standards of excellence and character. It is our hope that you will, once again, partner with us in helping to maintain the long-established culture of our great School.

As we move forward into our 92nd year, we hope to instill a simple mantra to help us ascend above the hardships that have left many of us feeling detached: RECOVER –> REFOCUS –> RECONNECT. We will recover from the last two years as we re-establish predictability and support, as well as a strong sense of security for our students.

We will refocus by using our experience from the past two years to strengthen our educational principles and programs.

We will reconnect by attending to the culture that is uniquely Fountain Valley. By moving forward stronger, better, and TOGETHER. Without your loyal support of the FVS Annual Fund none of this could be accomplished.

Your gift this year will make the work of our community possible and help ensure the promise of a Fountain Valley School education to each and every one of our students, as well as help build a stronger financial foundation for the future of your School.

I ask you to please join Maggie, Sarah and me in making a gift that is meaningful to you to this year’s Annual Fund. Together, we will truly make a difference!

Warmest regards,
