Why I Give

The Biotech Institute, journalism program and world language programs are three reasons that immediately come to mind.

We donate to CAF because it provides such important additional support to Carlmont programs not fully funded by the state.

I give because I see CAF as a needed investment in our school and community that rewards us all.

Our family has prioritized supporting CAF because we have seen the wonderful opportunities this money provides, including instrumental music.

I choose to support CAF because I believe in public education and the power of community.

Education is a priority in our family. We feel incredibly blessed to have such an excellent high school in our community.

Considering private schools are ridiculously expensive, and our district has such great schools. Supporting our local education foundations like SchoolForce and CAF, which in turn support our schools, is a no-brainer.

My oldest applied for college this year, and it is an overwhelming process for any student. However, he was able to have access to his counselor for questions that were answered promptly to smooth the process for him. This was possible due to the donations into CAF.

With Carlmont being such a big school, we feel it is important that additional funding is available to provide personalized counseling and a range of learning opportunities.

It’s my firm belief that ensuring our kids receive the best possible education is a step ahead for a better future.

When my son started at Carlmont, I was impressed with the many programs available to him to set him up for success.

As members of our community, we feel we all share a responsibility in ensuring that our children get the best educational experience possible. The funding we get from the state is not enough!

We have been very impressed with the organization of CAF and their stewardship of our donation dollars.

We donate to CAF because it is an investment in our children and the entire community — for now and in the future.
