Where do Your Donations Go?

Friends of Chappell appreciates and values each donation, which we put directly back into the school, whether it's educational programming, improved infrastructure, or community-building events. At the start of the academic year, Friends of Chappell meets with the principal to identify projects and programs that are not covered by the school's budget. The FOC board then votes on which donations to make to the school. In its consideration, the board takes into account the following:

  • How many students the donation will impact;
  • Whether the project or program will have a long-term effect; and
  • Whether it enhances the overall schooling experience for students.

Thanks to the generosity of families, community members, and businesses, Friends of Chappell has been able to support the projects listed below.
