Greetings from Justin and Lisa Jacobi,

As parents of an Academy student, we are proud to chair the Idyllwild Arts Annual Fund committee for 2008-2009. Our goal is simple: increase participation in the Annual Fund, and promote a culture of philanthropy in the Idyllwild Arts community.

No matter the time of year, Idyllwild Arts buzzes with the excitement of talented students, diverse arts programs, free performances, and world-class faculty. Students of all ages come to both the Academy and Summer Program because Idyllwild Arts has a reputation of providing an unparalleled arts education in a pristine environment. In an effort to keep tuition affordable, it does not cover the complete cost of an Idyllwild Arts education. The Annual Fund exists to fill this gap. It provides support for the day to day operations of the campus. It also allows Idyllwild Arts to award millions of dollars in scholarship money to students with limited financial means.

The Annual Fund is of monumental importance. The students of Idyllwild Arts need your support. Please make your secure online gift by clicking the link above. On behalf of the students who benefit from your support, thank you for making an

Idyllwild Arts students have big dreams. They aspire to have a lifetime in the arts. They desire to make an impact on this world. Your participation in the Idyllwild Arts Annual Fund will allow you to make an impact too - not just in the life of our students but also in our community and our world. After all, our students are the next generation of artists who will entertain us for years to come. Our alumni share their stories of the impact an Idyllwild Arts education can make by turning a child's dreams into reality. We think they say it best and invite you to read their Idyllwild Arts' stories of Impact.

With heartfelt words of appreciation from the students of Idyllwild Arts and sincere gratitude from the entire Idyllwild Arts community, we recognize the 2008-2009 donors, volunteers and members of the Annual Fund Committee who together make the annual Fund such a success. This year, the students and graduates are creating "small works of art" as a token of appreciation for every donation to the Annual Fund. Watch for yours in the mail.
Each year, current Idyllwild Arts families, grandparents, faculty and staff, alumni and their families, as well as former parents and friends show their support by giving to the Idyllwild Arts Annual Giving Campaign. We are grateful to everyone for their gifts. This support truly helps make the Idyllwild experience what it is for our students. As with most independent schools, we depend on the partnership of our school community to help make that all-important difference between tuition income and the actual cost of educating an Idyllwild Arts student. Your participation is important. Corporations and foundations often look to the number of donors in choosing the level at which they will support Idyllwild Arts. When you give, your gift helps leverage additional gifts. There are numerous ways to make a gift to Idyllwild Arts. All gifts show your support of the school, its faculty, and students. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact Ian Schoenleber at 951.659.2171 x2335 or by email.
