The Annual Giving Campaign is the sole, significant fundraiser and the only way to support the annual fund.  

Your donation allows the schools to continue funding a wide array of enrichment programs like the arts, technology, and languages.  Your donation also permits extensive site maintenance and improvements.  Without this funding the schools would not be able to stay current with the latest technologies, offer such outstanding musical events, and make necessary improvements to the facility.

 

TLC and LCP strive to keep tuition as low as possible so that our schools are affordable to middle-income families.  Currently, the schools have the lowest tuition among non-sectarian, private schools in the greater Foothills, San Gabriel Valley, Glendale area, and the schools are committed to keep these prices as low as is possible.

You may make a donation at any time, but the final day to donate for the current campaign year is April 30.

 

You may make a donation directly to the schools using an Annual Giving Campaign envelope, available from either office, or donate using the online giving form.

 

Donations to the TLC/LCP annual fund are not tax deductible, but donations to the Strait Up Foundation, our nonprofit arm, are.  Donations to Strait Up are used for structural maintenance and upgrades to the Foothill Intermediate School facility.

 

Parent participation in the Annual Fund is a critical indicator of our schools’ success. Comprehensive and ongoing participation in the Annual Fund demonstrates to other potential donors, such as foundations and corporations, a parental commitment to the school, thereby enhancing our ability to potentially raise funds for capital needs. Gifts from alumni, grandparents, staff, and faculty round out this demonstration of commitment by all members of our constituency groups.
