About Us
The St. Isidore Parochial School Foundation “SI Foundation” was established in 1984 to provide an exclusive perpetual endowment to St. Isidore School with the charter to broaden access to a quality Catholic education for those facing adverse economic circumstances and to promote the intellectual, social, physical, and education of students of the St. Isidore's School, Danville, California by raising, managing and distributing funds for tuition assistance.  Our annual gift to the school helps to cover unpaid tuitions for families that from time to time, are unable to meet their tuition obligations.

 Over the past 23 years, The SI Foundation has been able to grow the Foundation endowment and increase tuition assistance to families in need or transition.

 Tuition Assistance is defined by the two examples that follow:

Example 1:  Where a student is unable to pay monthly tuition, in whole or in part, because of family hardship, Foundation funds may be used to cover the unpaid portion.

Example 2:  Where all individual deficits described in Example 1 are covered, Foundation funds may be used to pay a portion of the tuition of all St. Isidore’s School students; the net result of which would be that St. Isidore’s School would be able to keep tuition rates lower than it otherwise would.

 For those families in need of tuitions assistance or to learn more about the assistance program please contact the St Isidore School Principal directly either by ph# (925) 837-2977 or email.

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 aforementioned above.  The investments that make up our endowment grow year over year through contributions and prudent financial management.  All donations made to the SI Foundation go directly into this managed fund.
