At Les Lilas French Bilingual Community School, the Annual Fund plays a vital role in sustaining our mission and vision, making up more than 4% of our operating revenue.

Your generous contributions go far beyond the classroom, supporting every corner of our vibrant learning community. It’s through your donations that we are able to invest in beautiful Montessori materials, offer competitive salaries and benefits for our dedicated staff, provide professional development opportunities, and extend financial aid to families in need.

We aim for 100% participation from our families, faculty, staff, and board members, knowing that every gift, no matter its size, makes a tangible difference in the Les Lilas experience.

Together with our spring auction, the Annual Fund accounts for approximately 5% of our yearly budget. Alongside tuition, these funds enable us to offer competitive compensation for our educators, invest in technology and school supplies, ensure access to financial aid, and foster the innovation that keeps our community growing.

Our 2025-2026 Annual Fund Campaign, running in November, is a huge part of our set-goal of raising $75,000 through donations and pledges.

Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a lasting impact on our school’s future.
