Your Support Matters
Giving at Pinewood
Every contribution of time, talent, or financial resources from our community is essential to Pinewood's mission of providing an exceptional education to all its students. Whether supporting our global service-learning trips where students learn to contribute to and engage with the world, our uniquely impactful theater program where confidence blossoms, or our competitive and inclusive athletics program that supports every athlete's growth, every gift makes a difference in developing well-rounded students. Your philanthropy not only helps us offer a challenging and engaging environment for our students today but also ensures a stronger Pinewood for generations to come.
We support Pinewood because we value the school’s focus on the students becoming well-rounded. It’s also been a wonderful supporting, nurturing environment with teachers who love what they do and love the students. We’ve seen our children grow and become more self-confident.

Ways to Support Pinewood
Annual Fund First
The Annual Fund First (AFF) is at the heart of our fundraising efforts, providing essential support that allows Pinewood to create an engaging and joyful educational experience for all students. The AFF not only helps us offer transformative opportunities to each individual, but it also fuels the development of mission-aligned programs and learning spaces and enables us to attract, recruit, and retain world-class faculty.
Annual Benefit Auction
At our annual Benefit Auction, the Pinewood community comes together for a celebratory evening to raise essential funds for our Faculty Professional Development and Graduate Study Reimbursement Programs. We’re excited to come together once again as a community for a night of dancing, feasting, and celebrating with fellow parents in support of Pinewood at our upcoming auction on March 22, 2025!
Capital Initiatives
Capital initiatives are long-term improvements and investments in Pinewood facilities that enable the school to continue enhancing our programs and educational offerings to meet the needs of our students. They are a part of the long-term strategic plan of the school to maintain our place as a competitive choice in the Bay Area independent school landscape, ensuring that we can provide students with the best learning spaces for years to come.
Gifts of Time and Talent
Volunteers make a meaningful difference at Pinewood School. Your gifts of time and talent are vital to our community and offer an opportunity to meet fellow parents, students, and staff. Depending on your availability and interests, there are many ways to give your time as a volunteer!
