Since 1952, St. Francis Episcopal Day School has responded to the needs of families in the  surrounding neighborhood.  What started as one kindergarten class of 24 children has grown to over 800 students, ages 18 months through grade 8.  This success was made possible in part through the generous financial gifts of many.

Philanthropy is about investing in the values that are important to you. St. Francis Episcopal Day School is more than an outstanding community of energetic teachers and learners, more than a lifelong philosophy about character and education, more than the bricks and mortar that house us. Certainly all these aspects are important, but they do not entirely capture the unique spirit—the part of our mission that calls us to be people for others. St. Francis relies on the support of our loyal and generous alumni and friends. For the community of students, teachers, alumni, and both past and present parents to continue to thrive we ask you to carry forward the generous spirit of the thousands of supporters who have taken us to this point with a financial gift to one of the following areas:
