Giving Societies

The Casa Serena Society is the cornerstone of annual fundraising.

Established in 1978, the Casa Serena Society serves to recognize those alumni, parents and friends who make leadership gifts to FVS. Casa Serena Society members contribute more than 80% of the Annual Fund goal.

ANY gift of $1,930+ to the school inducts you into the Casa Serena Society.

Annual Fund

Elizabeth Sage Hare Society

The Elizabeth Sage Hare Society is named for the visionary and energetic founder of Fountain Valley School, and serves to recognize those important alumni, parents and friends who choose to include FVS in their estate planning.

Planned giving is of tremendous importance to Fountain Valley School; it's a vital investment in our future. A gift can take many forms—a bequest, a charitable gift annuity, stocks. By planning your gift, you can select the option that best suits you and your family and most effectively achieves your financial and charitable goals.

Fountain Valley School wants to make it easy for you to learn more about estate planning and join the Elizabeth Sage Hare Society.

If you have already included FVS in your estate planning but have not informed us, or if you would like to learn more, please contact Director of Development Margie Sherer at msherer@fvs.edu or 719-391-5315 so we can properly recognize your gift.
