Giving FPD Annual Fund

FPD is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, so gifts made to the school do qualify for a tax deduction. Please consult your tax advisor for rules governing your tax situation.

In addition to the importance of every gift contributing to reaching an overall monetary goal, the percentage of giving is especially important. When applying for grants, a high percentage for parent giving enhances opportunities for additional grant funds to support projects and enhancements.

Yes! You can designate your FPD Annual Fund gift to a specific athletic program, fine arts program, class, teacher, or campus project. All gifts count toward the overall monetary and giving percentage goals for the Annual Fund.

FPD receives FPD Annual Fund support from all members of the FPD community including parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty and staff, board members, friends of the school and foundations.

Every student at FPD benefits from the Annual Fund, which provides the very things that most likely determined your choice to send your child to FPD: small class sizes, exemplary teachers, resources many public schools cannot offer, exceptional offerings in exploratory subjects, more personal attention with individualized student learning, a Christian education that focuses on a biblical worldview, and so much more.  Paying tuition gives your child access to all of this, charitable gifts are necessary to help sustain and expand it.  Giving to the Annual Fund also helps keep tuition as low as possible for all families.

FPD’s Annual Fund follows FPD’s fiscal year – June until May.

FPD Annual Fund dollars cover enhancements and campus projects not covered by tuition dollars. The continued growth and strengthening of FPD is made possible by the gifts made to the FPD Annual Fund each year and promote the longevity and sustainability of FPD.

To cover the actual cost of educating a student would require a significant tuition increase.  FPD, like other private schools, generates its funding from a variety of sources.  These include tuition, private grants, and fundraising from parents, alumni, and other community members.  Tax-deductible donations to FPD’s Annual Fund directly offset the current year’s operating budget, thus reducing each student’s annual tuition cost.

A gift of any amount is appreciated and counts towards the important participation measurements.  Each donor is asked to prayerfully consider giving a meaningful gift, at whatever level that may be for you, that reflects your commitment to FPD and your ability to give.
