About Us

The St. Isidore School Foundation (SISF) was established in 1984 to preserve Catholic and community values through investing in the future of our school. It was founded on the belief that a quality, faith based education sustains the core values of our parish and the community at large. Our belief has been validated as school graduates have not only gone on to attend top schools and to pursue successful careers but many have remained or returned as parish members, many with young families and school members of their own, which reinforces our mission.

Since inception, the St. Isidore Parochial School Foundation (“SI Foundation”) was established to provide an exclusive perpetual endowment to St. Isidore School with the charter to broaden access to a quality Catholic education. This “investment in the future” through support of our school and students further guarantees that the core Catholic values we all cherish are sustained and preserved. Over the past 23 years through both donations and prudent financial management, the SI Foundation has been able to grow the Foundation endowment allowing for an increase in its allocation to the school on an annual basis.

Will you help us grow this fund and its commitment to the core Catholic values that are so important to us all? We ask that you help build and support a legacy of faith based education through the St. Isidore School Foundation. If you choose to make a donation, your donation will not be spent but rather it will be invested and will grow to pay dividends for many years to come.

The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our Foundation is a California Nonprofit Benefit Corporation and its charter is for public and charitable purposes mentioned above. The investments that make up our endowment grow year after year through contributions and prudent financial management. All donations made to the SI Foundation go directly into this managed fund.

an excellent way to double your donation and help those in need.
