Investing in Our Children’s Future

From their first day of kindergarten, to the day they walk at graduation, our students have opportunities to explore and learn, to be inspired, and to discover their passions thanks to the generous support of individuals and organizations through Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF).

Established to build on the success of the last 25 years, the IPSF Endowment Fund creates a long-term and sustainable source of funding for Irvine schools to ensure the advancement of educational excellence for each child in every school, whatever the future may bring.

While annual fundraising through the Educational Excellence Fund supports the greatest needs in the current year, the IPSF Endowment Fund creates a consistent funding source to invest in the perpetuity of IPSF’s mission and impact. No other nonprofit in Irvine touches more local families than IPSF as we enrich the educational experience for more than 35,000 students every year. Since 1996, IPSF has funded the people and programs that help set Irvine apart with grants and donations to IUSD totaling more than $80 million. Your donation to the IPSF Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of your community.

Creating Your Legacy: IPSF Pillar Society
As a champion for private support and investment in public education, IPSF has become a pillar of the Irvine community. The IPSF Pillar Society was created to honor those who share our commitment to continuing the legacy of educational excellence in our community by making provisions for a future gift through a bequest, life insurance, annuity, trust agreement, real estate, IRA, appreciated assets to the IPSF Endowment Fund. Members of this special group share the common bond of philanthropy and vision to provide for the needs of future generations of students.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Irvine Public Schools Foundation, we invite you to become one of the founding 25 members of the IPSF Pillar Society.

You can show your personal compassion and set an example for others by remembering IPSF in your will, trust, or other planned gift. No gift has a more lasting impact. A planned gift represents a meaningful investment in the future of our community while also offering many potential advantages, including federal estate tax savings, the elimination or reduction of capital gains taxes, and the opportunity to increase spendable income.
