Serving Preschool Through 8th Grade in the San Francisco East Bay Since 1962

Why Give?

Our mission calls us to build a foundation that fosters a lifelong love of learning. For over 60 years, countless parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends have supported this mission through their generous donations and gifts of time. Seven Hills’ reputation for academic excellence, a vibrant learning environment, and financial stability is a testament to the ongoing support of our dedicated donors and volunteers.

Philanthropy and volunteerism are meaningful ways to become involved in the daily life and growth of the school and to make a difference. We invite you to join us through four primary efforts:
 

List of 4 items.

  • Annual Fund

    The Annual Fund is the school’s cornerstone fundraising effort each and every year. As a crucial part of the school’s operating budget, it provides essential resources beyond tuition. Your gifts directly support the many things you love most about Seven Hills, from hands-on learning opportunities to our talented faculty. LEARN MORE.
  • Auction

    Mark your calendars! Our annual auction is a fun community-building event that raises vital funds for student programs and important initiatives. This treasured tradition is a fantastic way to connect with other families while supporting the school. LEARN MORE.
  • Endowments & Special Campaigns

    Gifts to the endowment ensure the school’s long-term financial health. While the Annual Fund is utilized immediately, the endowment is invested in perpetuity, with interest earnings used each year to support strategic initiatives.

    Special campaign gifts support our evolving strategic vision and offer donors opportunities to demonstrate their passion and commitment to Seven Hills. LEARN MORE.
  • Volunteerism

    Our dedicated volunteers enrich every aspect of school life. Spearheaded by the Parent Involvement Association (PIA), parents, guardians, grandparents, alumni, and friends support our mission by giving their time. We encourage every family to get involved in a way that best suits their time, talents, and interests. LEARN MORE.
Fundraising initiatives are set forth and defined by the Board of Trustees and the Development Committee, which is charged with supporting and promoting the overall fundraising efforts at Seven Hills. Our Development staff is responsible for nurturing long-term relationships and is available to help donors identify gift opportunities that align with their interests.
