GAIS strives to keep an excellent bilingual education accessible to as many students as possible by keeping tuition as low as possible. We supplement our tuition income with a variety of fundraising activities. We are grateful to the parents, local businesses, real estate professionals, corporations and foundations who recognize that strong schools contribute to strong communities and demonstrate their commitment to good schools by their financial support of GAIS.
Main Sponsors of Our 20th Anniversary Celebration on May 16, 2009
The main sponsors of our fabulous party at the Stanford Faculty Club are:
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to these organizations for making our party a memorable event.
Local Businesses GAIS is grateful to these local businesses for their generous contributions to our school in the last few years.
Real Estate Professionals GAIS’ new real estate professionals program is open to realtors, agents, mortgage brokers, lenders, title insurers, escrow agents and others in the real estate profession. GAIS began the program because real estate professionals understand the value to the community of strong schools. GAIS is particularly grateful to these 2006 inaugural real estate sponsors of our Annual Auction.
Corporations and Foundations Like most schools, GAIS relies on the support of corporations and foundations to offer a top-notch education to our students. The following entities have generously supported GAIS’ bi-lingual, multi-cultural program in 2005-2006.
Services GAIS extends its heartfelt thanks to the contributors of unique personal services to our 2006 Annual Auction!
Kids GAIS is all about kids—nurturing them, teaching them, creating a place where they can establish lifelong friendships. We sincerely appreciate the contributions of these kid-focused businesses to our 2006 Annual Auction.
