The 2024 Annual Fund Drive

What is the Annual Fund Drive?

The 2024 Annual Fund Drive, taking place September 9th through September 27th, provides nearly 75% of the funds for Friends of Franklin each year. These funds go to support all of the great programs that FoF provides: TAs, art and music programs, science enrichment events, P.E., educational assemblies, technology upgrades, teacher classroom contributions, and so much more. Our ambitious goal this year is to raise $280,000. This money will help offset the cost increases we have seen on some of our programs as well as increase our program offerings.

If you’re wondering how much to give, here are some data points to help guide you:

Friends of Franklin will spend at least $1,200 per student this year. ($441,095 total)
Because not all Franklin families are in a position to give, if you are able, we ask that you give at least $1,500 or more per family, to bridge this gap.

If you can’t give the suggested amount this year – please know that any amount that is meaningful to you is deeply appreciated!

Employee Matching Programs

Please check with your employer about any “employee matching programs.” Many companies offer them, allowing you to double your donation. Last year, $40,000 of our fundraising came from employee matches—a HUGE impact! Thank you for taking the time to explore if such a program exists with your employer.
