Giving
Generosity that makes an impact.
Philanthropy is foundational to San Domenico School. Since 1850, San Domenico has been a leader in purpose-driven education in the Bay Area.
Each year, the generosity of San Domenico parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends allows us to create exceptional opportunities and experiences for our students.
How Your Gift Makes An Impact
San Domenico provides an extraordinary education that requires not just academic excellence, but also meaning and purpose. It is with the generosity of those within our community that SD boarding and day students receive a character-driven K-12 Independent School education, inspired and equipped to transform and redefine the metrics of achievement in order to create a better world. Gifts of all types and sizes are welcomed and appreciated – gifts from SD parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, and special friends of the school all make SD’s exceptional programs possible.
There are countless ways to get involved at SD throughout the year, and we invite you to join us in philanthropy and volunteering.
Thank you for supporting San Domenico!
