PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION

Dear Friends, Families, and Alumni of Friends of Willow Tree,

As we watch our children grow—steadily, thoughtfully, and with the quiet confidence that comes from being truly seen—we are reminded of how essential this community is to the life of Willow Tree. Your support helps create the rich, nurturing environment where our students thrive each day through meaningful work, artistic expression, and the wonder of discovery.

This year, we are asking for your partnership. With your contribution to our Annual Giving Fund, we can continue strengthening the programs, spaces, and experiences that make Friends of Willow Tree a place where childhood is honored and learning is brought to life. Your generosity directly supports the students, teachers, and classrooms that make our program the vibrant, caring community we all cherish.

Our Annual Giving Campaign this year is focused on raising funds for three important initiatives:

1. Playground Gazebo: To enrich our outdoor environment, we hope to bring shade and comfort to the sandbox play area. A covered gazebo will allow the children to play, imagine, and connect—protected from the sun’s warmth. The cost to purchase a gazebo is: $3,200

2. Consultant for Our Forever Home Build: As we continue to take steady steps toward building our Forever Home, the support of an experienced guide is essential. Our consultant is helping us thoughtfully navigate the complex political realm of county planning. With his guidance, we are moving closer to bringing our project before the planning commission. His expertise ensures that the home we create will be sustainable, well-considered, and truly aligned with the spirit and values of Willow Tree. The monthly cost for our consultant is: $3,000. Any amount toward this monthly expense would be gratefully received. 

3. Scholarship Fund: Our scholarship fund is designed to help more families access our programs regardless of financial circumstances. Your generous contribution will directly support students in need. By donating to this fund, you are investing in the future of our community, ensuring that all children have the chance to grow and thrive in our unique learning environment.

We invite you to join us in supporting these vital components. Every donation, no matter the amount, will bring us closer to providing the best possible environment for our students—both now and in the future.

Here’s how you can contribute:

• One-Time Donation: Your one-time gift will directly support these immediate needs and have a lasting impact on our students and program.
• Monthly Giving: Becoming a monthly donor allows you to spread your gift over time, providing consistent support for these important initiatives.
• 
  

To donate, please follow the link below or mail your donation to: PO BOX 1505, BONSALL, CA 92003. All contributions are tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt for your records.

Friends of Willow Tree has always been a community rooted in collaboration and support, and we are so grateful for your partnership in making our program the nurturing space it is. Your generosity helps us continue to offer an exceptional learning environment while preparing for an even brighter future.

Thank you for considering our request, and for your ongoing dedication to Friends of Willow Tree. Together, we can ensure that our students have the resources they need to grow, thrive, and succeed.

With heartfelt thanks,
Bethany Chaffin and the Friends of Willow Tree Board of Directors
