Giving
A community where every child thrives
As a nonprofit, Phoebe Hearst relies on philanthropic support to maintain our financial health and long-term sustainability.
The Annual Fund
Creating opportunities for every child
At Phoebe Hearst, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a community that cares for the whole child.
The Annual Fund makes that possible by supporting the programs that shape each child’s school experience, from individualized support to tuition assistance and shared experiences like Playground to Table.
Every gift, at every level, helps ensure that Phoebe Hearst remains a place where children are nourished physically, emotionally, and socially, and where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Your gift at work
When you give to the Annual Fund, you are supporting:
Tuition Assistance
A thriving school community is one that brings together families from a range of economic backgrounds.
Annual Fund gifts help make Phoebe Hearst accessible to more families through tuition assistance, strengthening the economic diversity that enriches our community and the experience of every child.
Support for Every Child
Phoebe Hearst is deeply committed to providing support and meeting children where they are developmentally.
The Annual Fund enables the school to fund early intervention services, including occupational therapy and speech and language support for families who would otherwise not be able to afford them.
The Playground to Table Program
Playground to Table brings together community, wellness, experiential learning, and whole-child development in a way that is uniquely Phoebe Hearst.
From the garden to the kitchen to the shared table, children learn where food comes from, how it nourishes their bodies, and the joy of preparing and sharing a meal.
The Annual Fund supports the program from garden to table, including fresh, seasonal, organic ingredients, equipment, and staffing, so every child can participate.
