French American and International are able to provide an outstanding, global education thanks in large part to the extraordinary generosity of our community. The school’s long-term success is ensured by the financial and volunteer support of parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty & staff, and corporations and foundations.
The Office of Advancement conducts five major fundraising and outreach initiatives each year, which are detailed below.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
Annual Fund
Gifts to the Annual Fund contribute 7% each year's operating needs, funding faculty expenses, scholarship aid, technology investments and other programs. French American and International families are asked to give each year.
The 2010-2011 Annual Fund began on July 1, 2010 and will run through June 30, 2011.
Though separate from the Annual Fund, retail rebate programs such as eScrip, LandEnd, SchoolPAX and other programs support current-year expenses by rebating a percentage of purchases to the school - at no cost to you!
Fundraising Events
The school produces two major fundraising events per year: the Annual Auction and Soirée des Arts et des Vins. These community gatherings offer many avenues for families to get involved: attend the events, volunteer, or donate items.
Volunteer
Volunteers enrich every aspect of school life. Every family is asked to contribute at least 12 hours of service each year. Volunteers run parent boards, chair fundraising events, give docent tours, provide classroom support and run community activities.

Capital Campaign
The school is engaged in a major capital expansion of facilities on the upper floors of 150 Oak Street and the addition of a 20,000 square foot Arts Pavilion at 66 Page Street. The Campus Plus campaign is targeted to raise $16 million to cover the costs of this important transformation of the student experience. Major gifts to this campaign are needed to complete this project.

Endowment
A strong endowment ensures the school’s long-term financial security and provides a source of income. The school has made steady progress in building the endowment, but continues to seek major gifts to further grow this important reserve.
