Give

Friends of Franklin (FOF) raises money through special events and individual donations to help enhance the programs and facilities of Franklin Avenue Elementary School.

The 2023 Annual Fund Drive

The 2023 Annual Fund Drive, running through September 29th, provides nearly 75% of the funds for Friends of Franklin each year.  These funds go to support all of the great programs that FoF provides:  TAs, art and music programs, science enrichment events, P.E., field trips, technology upgrades, teacher classroom contributions, and so much more. Our ambitious goal this year is to raise $260,000. This money will help offset the cost increases we have seen on some of our programs as well as increase our program offerings.  

If you’re wondering how much to give, here are some data points to help guide you:

● Friends of Franklin will spend at least $1,085 per student this year. ($430,000 total)

● Because not all Franklin families are in a position to give, if you are able, we ask that you give at least $1,500 or more per family, to bridge this gap.

If you can’t give the suggested amount this year – please know that any amount that is meaningful to you is deeply appreciated!

Did you know we offer monthly installments over the course of the school year? You can spread out your donation over 10 months or give a one-time contribution HERE.

Prefer to pay by check? Please make checks out to Friends of Franklin and mail to the FOF P.O. Box: Friends of Franklin, 1920 Hillhurst Avenue, #438, Los Angeles, CA 90027

It’s up to you how you contribute and we are grateful for your participation!

We are all Friends of Franklin and we are working together towards the same goal—supporting ALL Franklin students so they can be the best version of themselves!

**Another thing to note: please check with your employer about any “employee matching programs.” Many companies offer them, allowing you to double your donation. Thank you for taking the time to explore if such a program exists with your employer.
