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.
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:
Charitable trusts
and wills program
Real estate and
personal property
Wise planning can result in a
significant reduction in the
amount you may pay in taxes and
an increase in what you can
prayerfully give to others.
Please talk with your financial
advisor or attorney about these,
or you may call our office for a
list of referrals.
Contact our FCS Office of
Development for more
information.
