About

There are many ways to "spot a friend." Today, the most impactful way you can "spot" your friends at FSS is by making a gift to the Friends Select Fund.  

200 donors within 30 hours = $20,000 challenge grant for Friends Select School

The world needs Friends Select students and Friends Select needs you! Help support the important mission of Friends Select School and the work of our students and faculty. We cannot fulfill our mission without you. 

A pool of anonymous donors is challenging the Friends Select community by offering a $20,000 matching grant if we inspire 200 FSS friends to make a donation to the Friends Select Fund before noon on February 8th.  A gift at any level could make a significant impact, so make a gift that is meaningful to you then tell your friends about it on social media, using the hashtag "#iSelectFriends." 

For example: #iSelectFriends because I believe Quaker education in Center City Phila is a cause worth supporting.    

Each year Friends Select relies on the generosity of alumni/ae, parents and friends to provide the funding necessary for growth. From financial aid grants and faculty compensation, to STEAM Lab materials and equipment for metalsmithing, the Friends Select Fund touches every corner of our school. 


Help us inspire others to support Friends Select! Click on the 'advocates' tab to get started or create a Matching Donation or Challenge Gift. 

If you inspire 10 people to make a gift, we will send you this cool Falcon hat! 


Updates
We shattered our goal thanks to you!

We did it, we surpassed goal after goal, raised close to $70,000 from over 400 donors online, and we are still counting offline donations. Thank you everyone for supporting and advocating for our students, faculty and staff. We are inspired and proud, today and always.

WOW! Additional Challenge Match Offered!

The Friends Select community does not disappoint! We hit our goal of 200 donors within 6 hours of launch! A new group of anonymous donors has come forward to offer an additional challenge match of $7,000 if we can make it to 400 donors by noon tomorrow. We can do it! Please help us reach our goal. Let's keep the momentum going!
