Why I Give
Hear from our wonderful donors about why they donate to CAF.
-
We are pleased to support Carlmont’s innovation, depth of outstanding opportunities, safety, and leadership for many years to come.
-
We donate because Carlmont is an incredible school which deserves so much more than what it gets from the government.
-
I strongly believe a commitment to school-wide strength is how we raise the tide of excellence and uplift the next generation.
-
Contributing to CAF enables Carlmont to offer the academic rigor of a private school combined with a broad range of programs within a diverse community.
-
Contributing to CAF supports a community that values the intellectual, social, and emotional development of our children.
-
We give to CAF to help make a difference in students’ and teachers lives. Supporting our schools is an investment in our community and our children’s well-being.
-
Donating to CAF is an investment in our children’s education and wellness needs that are not funded by the state.
-
We donate to CAF because the state doesn’t fully fund the amazing programs that inspire and challenge Carlmont students. Without CAF, our children wouldn’t get the state-of-the-art education they deserve.
-
Our CAF donation goes toward the enrichment of students and improves technology in classrooms. Students have access to a variety of programs /opportunities (such as the Marketing Pathway, Instrumental Music, Engineering and Green technology) that are made possible. Pay it forward to benefit the next generation.
-
Donating to CAF is an investment in giving all our children access to programs, resources, and opportunities that support their academic and personal growth during these critical years.
-
We are grateful to live in a community of like-minded families that pitch in every year so that our students can be in smaller sized classes, have ample classes to choose from – including an incredible instrumental music program – and many other extras like adequate counseling support.
-
CAF truly represents a commitment to helping students become well-rounded individuals.
-
We view our yearly CAF donations as an investment in the future of our children and the vibrant Carlmont community.
-
We donate to CAF because it provides such important additional support to Carlmont programs not fully funded by the state.
