“The specific purpose of this corporation is to help strengthen the work of Foothill Christian School and Preschool by building a strong base of financial and program support.”
We build stronger schools.
We support Foothill Christian School. COVID has not slowed us down. In many ways, we have grown stronger since March 2020. More importantly, our work has not stopped, our mission has not changed, and we’ve learned— we can virtually do anything! Fundraising looks different, but we remain focused on funding the margin of excellence.
Active Campaigns.
PRESCHOOL
Our preschoolers are resilient, even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Foothill Christian Preschool wants to stay ahead of our student’s, continuing to build environments that our students need, even before the need arises. That way, preschoolers can continue to grow and thrive at their own pace, not at ours! This year, the Preschool aims to raise $20,000 for school improvement projects, campus security upgrades and covid related expenses.
TK - 8TH GRADE
Our students continue to show true grit, resilience and determination throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Foothill Christian aims to stay ahead of our student’s, building safe environments (now) that allow our students to continue to grow and thrive at their own pace, not at ours! We believe the TK-8th grade goals reflect this value!
TECHNOLOGY
There is a shift in education right now and we need to be on the forefront of that shift. In a world where students can Google the answers to any question, teachers must compete with a student’s latest device in the realm of education. We compete when our teachers use technology. We compete when we provide our students with technology in the classroom. We compete when we provide students with the opportunity to personalize their learning. Then, when students have the technology they need, instead of competing with technology, we leverage technology to push our students to become producers of content instead of consumers of content.
ATHLETICS
Foothill Christian School is an undisputed and recognized force throughout the San Gabriel Valley Christian League. The goal is to give our athletes the tools required to compete at the next level as they strive for excellence before God on and off the court/field. Let’s give our athletes what they need to succeed on a whole new level! Now is the time to give our athletes what they need to succeed on a whole new level!
FINE ARTS
Our Fine Arts programs are thriving, even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic thus, there is potential to grow and expand. Giving to Fine Arts provides these programs with exactly what they need to strive for excellence in every way. At the very start of every child’s education here at Foothill Christian, music appreciation classes are essential within our elementary curriculum. And then, as students grow in their passion for music and the arts, options like band, choir and orchestra are added to the student experience. Starting in 3rd grade, these growing skills become vital for what comes next: The Audition!
Our Goal
The goal of FCS Educational Foundation is to garner support from individuals, organizations, corporations and foundations. In its brief existence, the foundation has assumed custodial responsibility for a modest endowment fund and has secured major partners and supporters.
Financial Transparency, Integrity + Compliance.
Foundations first moved online in the mid-90s, ushering in a new era in non-profit transparency, as more information about foundations can now be found on the web. Today, foundations are continuing to use technology to move toward openness by using YouTube, blogs, open data, and other social media platforms to share the impact of their work. Foundations are increasing their transparency as a catalyst for change. And, foundations with “glass pockets” are in a better position to increase their impact on specific issues and strengthen the field of philanthropy as a whole.
Transparency:
• Strengthens credibility.
• Increases public trust.
• Improves grantee relationships.
• Reduces duplication of effort.
• Facilitates greater collaboration.
• Builds a community of shared learning.
