Annual Fund
Every year, the Annual Fund provides GFS with the flexibility to respond to the immediate needs of the school, allows us to grow meaningful experiences for every student, and it is essential to the financial health of GFS. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, GFS is able to provide transformative educational opportunities for every student. The collective impact and commitment of our alumni, parents, faculty, grandparents, and friends are powerful, and all gifts are important to our mission.

Giving Day: #ShowYourLoveGFS!
Giving Day, held on Valentine's Day each year, is a special opportunity for our community to come together in support of GFS through donations to the Annual Fund.
Our entire community, including students, faculty, alumni, parents, caregivers, grandparents, and friends show appreciation (and love!) for GFS on campus and online. Giving challenges from parents, grandparents, and alumni contribute to the tremendous goodwill for GFS on this exciting day.
Family-to-Family Volunteer Program
The GFS Family-to-Family fundraising volunteer program is designed for GFS parent and caregiver volunteers to work at their own pace while fundraising for GFS through the Annual Fund.
