Every gift opens a door.
Your generosity funds financial aid, great teaching, and the experiences that shape our students for life.
Why your gift matters, even with tuition.
Tuition covers about 80% of what it costs to educate a Larkspur student. The Annual Fund closes the gap every year, and it is what makes our small classes, our financial aid, and our extraordinary teachers possible.
Every gift counts the same day it is made. Whether you give $25 or $2,500, you join the parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends who keep our doors open to every curious child.
Your gift supports
- Financial aid for one in three students

Why give if I already pay tuition?
Tuition covers about 80% of the cost of educating each student. The Annual Fund covers the rest, including financial aid, teacher salaries, and the programs that make a Larkspur education special.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Larkspur Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 00-0000000), and gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You’ll receive an emailed receipt for your records.
Can I give monthly or make a pledge?
Absolutely. Many families spread their gift across the year. Contact our advancement office and we’ll set up a monthly gift or a pledge that works for you.
Does my employer match gifts?
Many employers match charitable gifts, often doubling your impact. Check with your HR department and send us the form; we’ll take care of the rest.
