Fundraising Goal: $250,000+

We invest nearly $800 per Eastbluff student.

Every dollar of your tax-deductible donation goes directly to helping our students.

Your participation is essential to make this happen.

Each day your child attends Eastbluff, they benefit from the investments the Foundation makes. Whether it's a tutor who wouldn't otherwise be there, an art program, or campus improvements, these opportunities simply would not exist without your generous support.
