Annual Fund

Why Give?

The Annual Fund supports virtually every aspect of the School, every day. Each year alumni, current and former families, faculty, friends, corporations, foundations, administration and staff, and even the students themselves, make contributions to the Annual Fund to ensure that the Fountain Valley experience remains world-class and one of a kind. And while gifts to the Annual Fund provide the School's leadership with the ability to immediately fund areas of greatest need, we encourage you to give from your heart to the area that means the most to you. The 2021-22 Annual Fund runs through June 30, 2022.

SUPPORT ACADEMICS

Students learn just how much they are truly capable of through Fountain Valley’s dynamic academic curriculum. Your gift supports the FVS classroom experience where everyone’s opinion counts in lively, small-class discussions, as well as a global curriculum that spans departments from art, to math, to history.

SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Providing faculty with opportunities for meaningful professional development retains our excellent teachers and helps attract top talent. Teachers are energized by these learning opportunities, and it transfers to the classroom. Your gift directed to professional development heightens the FVS experience for both faculty and students.

SUPPORT CAMPUS ENHANCEMENTS

The generous expanse of rolling prairie, beautiful adobe buildings and stunning views of Pikes Peak—all under an impossibly blue sky—mean so much to so many. Your annual fund gift directed to campus enhancement supports the preservation and conservation of this very special place, while also funding improvements to ensure that our facilities meet the needs of today's students.
