Knock knock! We’re coming to you with profound gratitude. On April Schools Day, you showed that you can like a good joke — but that you’re dead serious when it comes to Carlmont students’ educational experience. Because of you, CAF overachieved our goal and raised $156,526. CAF donors utilized every single Challenge Grant dollar available from our business sponsors and Leadership Circle donors. These funds will support your Carlmont student during the 2025-26 school year.
We are so grateful for the generosity of our local community. From Carlmont families to business partners and committed community members, you demonstrated what it means to have local impact.
Fundraising Update
While this successful campaign got us closer to our annual goal of $1,350,000, we still need to raise just over $300,000 by June 30 to maintain the current level of funding for the next school year. If you haven’t already donated, please consider supporting our Carlmont students.
With sincere appreciation,
