EXPANDING THE
EXTRAORDINARY
CONSTRUCTING
NEW POSSIBILITIES
At Crestview Preparatory School, we believe childhood is extraordinary. This guiding truth inspires us to honor each child’s potential, nurture joyful learning, and strengthen the caring community that defines Crestview.
Today, we face a pivotal opportunity to ensure our facilities reflect the excellence of our mission. Our vision includes a new gathering space at the heart of campus, an expanded library, dedicated art and music studios, a TK classroom, and welcoming administrative areas. These enhancements will allow Crestview students to learn, create, and thrive in an environment that embodies our core values and prepares them for a bright future.
WHY
I GIVE
Together we can build a future where every student has the space to learn, grow, and thrive in an environment that truly reflects the extraordinary nature of childhood. The time has come to invest in our facilities to ensure they reflect the exceptional education and community we provide. This is an opportunity for you to partner with us in a transformative endeavor and to reaffirm your commitment to the values that make our school so special.

“We watched our son blossom at Crestview over the 5 years he was a student here. Thanks to the incredibly nurturing and supportive culture that Crestview is rooted in, he graduated with a strong sense of self and a heart filled with gratitude. This is why we wanted to be a part of this campaign, so that Crestview can continue changing children’s lives, like it did for our family.”

GIVING
Join us! Let’s create a Crestview where our facilities match our aspirations - a place where every child can reach their full potential!
ONE-TIME GIFTS
A one-time gift offers immediate impact and can be made anytime throughout the duration of the campaign. One-time campaign donations will be recognized in the calendar year the gift is made, as well as in long term campaign-specific recognition opportunities.
MULTI-YEAR PLEDGES
Donors who wish to make a larger financial commitment may choose to do so over either three or five years and are instrumental in helping provide stable and predictable funding for the duration of the campaign.
For more information about making a MULTI-YEAR PLEDGE, please email Crestview's Director of Advancement
FAMILY DONATIONS
The Crestview Community is comprised of many grandparents and other valued members of our students' families. A family gift creates a lasting legacy of support and may be recognized in a way that recognizes multiple generations of giving.
For more information about making a FAMILY DONATION, please email Crestview's Director of Advancement
GIFTS OF STOCK
Gifts of stock are an excellent option for donors who wish to give both one-time or via multi-year pledge. Donors may receive certain tax advantages by directly transferring appreciated securities, potentially increasing the gift's value and maximizing tax benefits compared to donating cash.

What is the difference between the Crestview Fund and the Capital Campaign?
The Crestview Annual Fund is our fundraising effort each year. Money raised supports Crestview’s operating budget and literally helps keep the lights on. The Crestview Fund also supports our robust financial aid fund, yearly campus maintenance and improvements and teacher development. The Capital Campaign is a short-term project that is raising money for a specific purpose - in this case - the new building. The money raised for the capital campaign is restricted for use in the project and may not be used for other needs.
Our family can only make one gift this year, what is Crestview’s priority?
We are so grateful to every family for making Crestview a philanthropic priority. Gifts of all amounts are truly appreciated and support our goals of providing the best educational experience for every student at Crestview. If your family is able to support our Annual Fund AND make a pledge to the Capital Campaign, it would be hugely impactful. If you are not able to do both, we ask that you prioritize the Crestview Fund.
How long will the building project take and how will my student be impacted?
Our biggest priority is that our students and community will be minimally impacted by the building project. With that in mind, the materials that we’ve chosen are modular and will be manufactured off-site. Our plan is that the library, art/music rooms, and admin offices will be demoed in the late spring of 2027, and the new building will be built during the summer break. All of the classrooms and the majority of Crestview Park will not be impacted by the demolition.
How does the new middle school program impact the building project?
While we are very excited about our expansion into 7th and 8th grade, Crestview’s new middle school program will not impact the building project on our current campus. In fact, the long-term plan to move 6th grade to the middle school will create new spaces on our current campus for our expanded TK class and a redoubling of our priority for child-centered learning. The funding model for the middle school program also does not rely on extensive fundraising, so we are prioritizing the building project in our capital campaign efforts.
How can our family support the Capital Campaign?
Thank you for your investment in Crestview’s future. If you are able to support the capital campaign, you may pledge an amount that is payable over three or five years if that allows you to stretch your support beyond what might be possible in one year. Alumni and their families are encouraged to consider a one-time gift of their graduation year. We also encourage you to consider a gift of stock as a way to maximize your tax benefits for your contribution. As always, if you have any questions about making a donation, please contact the Office of Advancement at 818-952-0925.
