Fundraising
Welcome to our Development Office
ISA’s Development Office seeks additional funding for the school for several reasons:
- Donors and volunteers enable ISA to innovate and grow in the competitive education environment surrounding us.
- Enrollment increases have placed huge demands on available resources.
- Annual contributions and event proceeds help bridge the gap between the school’s revenues and day-to-day expenses, as well as to fund special projects and strategic initiatives as determined by the Board of Directors and administration.
- Tuition alone does not assure ISA’s growth. Non-profit, independent schools in the United States are not subsidized by the government, and ISA is not subsidized directly by the French or Spanish governments.
- In addition to asking members of the ISA community for monetary support, we seek funds from external sources including individual donors, companies, and foundations. Before considering a gift to ISA, they want to see that the parents, faculty, and staff are fully invested in the school.
- High Annual Fund participation demonstrates the community’s commitment to the school’s mission and academic excellence, which make up our strength and reputation, and are important to ISA’s long-term health.
Your support will keep ISA positioned to meet the challenges as well as take advantage of the opportunities. Your continued support, as volunteers and donors, will be crucial to our future success.
In the following pages, you will find information on ways to support ISA. We welcome your interest, your questions, your comments, and your help. Thank you for your generosity, and for supporting this unique, excellent educational institution.

Annual Soiree
The annual Soirée is one of the main fundraising events each year for the ISA. Supporters of this event invest in a community resource and contribute important resources toward the education of our community youth. The event provides ISA the opportunity to join parents, business leaders, supporters, and the community as we celebrate the benefits that an international school has to offer to students across the Phoenix metropolitan valley.
Local and national businesses can support the school and gain visibility at the same time through Sponsorships and both auction item and in-kind Donations. Please click below to see how your business can contribute to this important event.
The success of the Soirée relies on the generous support of our volunteers. There are many ways for our families to contribute, from soliciting auction items to coordinating class baskets, selling event and raffle tickets, and helping out at the event. Please click below to see how you can help the Soirée Committee create an event that will raise important funds for our school.
