Giving

Your annual gift to The Foothill Fund provides vital and essential support to Foothill Country Day School and we count on philanthropic contributions from parents, grandparents, alumni and their families, as well as corporations and foundations, to meet operating expenses as well as strategic long-term priorities.A strong Foothill Fund ensures we are able to deliver the educational experience you expect for your child. Year after year, the Foothill Fund sustains our School and ensures we thrive—your support immediately benefits students, teachers, and our programs!

By supporting the Foothill Fund, parents have a direct and immediate impact on their children’s experience during their time at Foothill Country Day School. Every gift, regardless of size, makes an impact. Our goal is 100% participation!

In 2010, the Eleanor Pierson Scholarship Fund was established to honor Eleanor’s legacy as a founding parent and the longest serving faculty member at Foothill Country Day School. Since the time of its founding, Eleanor served Foothill in many capacities, including assistant to Headmaster Howell Webb, director of admissions, and community outreach coordinator—and many generations of alumni remember her warm presence every day at the School.

Your support of this fund provides tuition assistance for capable and deserving students who otherwise would not be able to afford a Foothill education. Approximately, 18% of our students are receiving some level of financial assistance to attend Foothill.  You can direct your annual gift to honor the legacy of Eleanor’s contributions to Foothill for many decades and ensure that a family’s financial capacity is not an obstacle for a child’s education.
