EBGIS Annual Fund

Why the Annual Fund Matters

Your gift to the Annual Fund supports every aspect of school life—from the classroom to the playground, from teacher development to student support, from technology and materials to bilingual programming.

Annual Fund gifts help us:

  • Attract and retain outstanding bilingual faculty

  • Support student financial aid and equity of access

  • Expand arts, music, STEM, and enrichment programs

  • Fund professional development for our teachers

  • Strengthen our language immersion and IB programs

Your generosity ensures that we can continue to offer a learning environment where students feel known, challenged, and inspired—every day.

A Community Effort

We ask every EBGIS | EBIHS family to participate in the Annual Fund each year. Your participation—at any level—demonstrates our community’s shared commitment to our mission and strengthens our ability to secure outside support through grants and partnerships.

Whether you give $50, $500, or more, your contribution matters. High participation rates show current and prospective families, corporate sponsors, and community partners that we all believe in the future of EBGIS | EBIHS.

Together, we are building the future.

Every gift. Every family. Every year.

The EBGIS | EBIHS Annual Fund is the cornerstone of philanthropic giving at East Bay German International School. As with many independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of the exceptional bilingual, international education we provide. The Annual Fund bridges this gap—and ensures that every student benefits from an enriched learning experience rooted in academic excellence, cultural connection, and personal growth.

Ways to Give

  • One-time or recurring online donation

  • Corporate matching gifts through your employer

  • Annual Fund sponsorships from local businesses

  • Tribute gifts in honor of a teacher, student, or family member
