Development
At Foothills Academy, philanthropy is a deep-seated value rooted in the belief in the power of individuals to affect change, nourish our community and the world. Philanthropy underpins the health of our school and is so fundamental that we cultivate it in students through community service and service-learning, components of Foothills' curriculum.
Community-based funding affirms the value of a Foothills' education reaching beyond knowledge to nurturing socially responsible citizens. Moreover, our emphasis on giving offers concrete benefits to donors: contained tuition costs, tax benefits, donation designation, and increased opportunities for funding from other charitable sources, such as foundations.
For those who wish to contribute, there are multiple ways. Find below a brief description of various opportunities. If you wish more detailed information about any of them, contact the Development Office, 303-431-0920 or development@foothills-academy.org.
Contributions are most welcome. We appreciate your consideration of a gift to Foothills.
