The Fullerton Academy of the Arts Foundation (FAAF) was formed in September 2000. Created out of a group of concerned parents who shared the Academy's vision to provide an elevated and accelerated arts curriculum which is open to all students, FAAF's mission is to provide a steady amount of funding and support for the Academy.

Ways to Give

There are many WAYS TO GIVE. You may choose the most appropriate way to put your generous tax-deductible contribution to work at Fullerton Union High School.

Annual Fund Drive - Once a year, the Foundation reaches out to the community to raise the necessary funds to continue our work for next year. This is done during the months of November and December when cash gifts are sought. These gifts are unrestricted funds and so are the most valuable because they can be directed to whatever Arts program has the greatest need.

Scholarship Fund - Each year the Foundation contributes more than $2,000 to help needy students with personalized Vocal, Instrumental and Visual Art coaches. As school enrollment continues to expand, this remains one of our most critical areas.

STAAR - Once a year, near the end of April, the Academy of the Arts presents a fund-raising Gala.  This exclusive event features performances by Academy students in a show at Plummer Auditorium, followed by a silent auction, then by some of the best cuisine in town. For more information, please contact us at (714) 626-3985.

Artists in Residency - Each year the Foundation has been able to contribute more than $12,000 to expose our students to the work of professional artists. This program funds master classes in theater, opera, dance, and instrumental music. It also makes it possible for professional artists to perform and conduct extended residencies.

Planned Giving and Endowments - To learn about deferred or planned gifts, including bequests, life-income plans, and other options for your estate — and for information about increasing your income, earning valuable income-tax deductions, and reducing your estate taxes, please give us a call at (714) 626-3925.
