The Nicasio School Foundation is a volunteer, non-profit organization that promotes educational excellence at our 150 year old K-8 rural school in West Marin.  With your support we raise critical financial resources which fund vital programs including Art, Music, Physical Education and Foreign Language.
Nicasio School Vision:

Benefiting from its unique rural setting, strong sense of community and distinguished history, Nicasio School will educate children to value learning, act with integrity, live a healthful life, and participate as responsible citizens both locally and globally.

Beyond teaching the core public school curriculum, Nicasio School is fortunate to be able to provide an “enrichment program” that includes Art, Music, Spanish and Physical Education along with Student Council and a Buddy Program.  We believe that enrichment is an important component to the school curriculum and helps Nicasio School students go on to succeed in high school and beyond.

Nicasio School receives a subsistence level of funding from the State of California each year that barely covers the teaching of the state-mandated core curriculum in our three classroom configuration.  The enrichment classes offered at Nicasio School only exist due to generous financial donations received each year from parents, alumni, community members and other friends-of-the-school. 

We hope you will be able to continue to support the unique public school education that Nicasio School provides the children of West Marin.  Please click on the “Donate Now” button on this page to make a secure donation to the Nicasio School Foundation.

During the past school year, the NSF was able to raise over $59,000 which is being used to fund our enrichment programs for the current 2011 - 2012 school year.  Donations and funds were raised from the following sources:
 
$30,000  School families
$13,000  Community members, alumni and friends of the school
$15,000  Profit from the Nicasio Barn Dance fundraiser
$1000     e-scrip and United Markets donations
 
Thank you to everyone who contributed in 2010 - 2011!!!!
