The Pacifica Fund

Thank you for committing to making a difference in the lives of our students and our community through a gift to the Pacifica Fund.

Building an exceptional, innovative high school that integrates faith and learning to prepare the next generation of leaders to think and live well requires a significant investment. The Pacifica Fund helps bridge the gap between what tuition covers and the annual operation of our school. It has an immediate benefit for each and every student. This fund makes it possible to attract, retain, and develop our outstanding faculty, continue to build out the school’s college preparatory academic program, and fund Triton athletics and Pacifica Arts. It also helps us expand and maintain our growing campus. Together we are preparing every student with a foundation for success in college, life, work, and faith. Please join us, your gift matters!

The 2045-25 Pacifica Fund goal is $3 million with 100% family, faculty, staff, and trustee participation. All students benefit from these transformative gifts, which will allow us to execute Pacifica’s Strategic Vision, Pacifica 2025: The Hope Set Before Us.

Annual Giving FAQs

Why give to the Pacifica Fund?

The Pacifica Fund is essential to the quality you see in our excellent college-preparatory curriculum, in our competitive Triton Athletic Program, in our creative Pacifica Arts Department, and in our dedicated faculty and staff.

Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost to educate our students. The Pacifica Fund provides the additional resources needed to meet our operating budget. Every aspect of the school—from salaries to co-curriculars to facility maintenance—is supported by the Pacifica Fund. Donations to the Pacifica Fund are tax deductible, while tuition is not.
