Our Mission

2025-2026 Annual Campaign 

Dear Neighbor,

 

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We’re sharing our Annual Giving Impact Report below, which highlights the programs your support makes possible.

Outstanding achievement is fueling rapid growth across our seven schools. 

 

Your tax-deductible gift to our Annual Giving Campaign helps meet rising needs and create opportunities that public funding simply doesn’t cover.

 

This is our one major fundraising push each year — please make your annual gift today and, if you’re able, consider choosing a monthly amount to sustain this work all year long. Because we’re 100% donor-funded, every dollar helps close the gap and goes right back into Great Valley classrooms.

 

Examples of what your gift can fund:

$25 → Early literacy books

$50 → Groceries for families in need

$75 → Robotics & STEAM supplies

$500 → Launch a new Venture Grant

$1,000 → Innovation lab technology

 

Will you make a gift today? 

Every donation—of any size—makes a meaningful difference for our students and teachers.

 

With gratitude,
Tom Koester and Laura Sindoni
Co-Presidents, Great Valley School District Education Foundation

  — and GVSD parents
