Support Holden

YOUR GIFTS MAKE ALL THAT WE DO POSSIBLE

Ways To Give

When combined with those of other Holden parents, trustees, alumni, and friends, your donation has a powerful impact on Holden. Thank you fo your support!

Use our secure, online gift-giving platform to make a tax-deductible one-time or recurring donation.

Please send checks payable to “Holden High School” and mail to Holden High School, 10 Irwin Way, Orinda, CA 94563

You may be able to double – even triple! – your donation to Holden. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from retirees and spouses may also qualify for a match. 

Car donations are an easy way to support Holden. You’ll receive a tax-deduction, often at a higher value than if you traded in your car to the dealer, and Holden gets additional funds for our programs. Email Office@holdenhigh.org or call (925)254-0199 to get started!

Gifts of stocks or bonds offer two tax advantages to many donors. First, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation by contributing appreciated securities held for more than one year. Second, you qualify for a charitable deduction on your income tax based on the value of the securities on the date you make a gift. 

Planned giving is an especially meaningful way to honor the impact Holden/CCAS has had on your life or the life of a loved one.

If you are considering including Holden in your Will or Trust, please contact us to discuss your options at Office@holdenhigh.org.

Why Give?

Tuition covers approximately 70% of the cost of educating our students. When you give to Holden, you help support field trips, athletic teams, elective classes, and a full slate of student activities worthy of a much larger school.

Gifts to Holden are unrestricted and help pay for many of our programs and resources, including:

Part of the mission of Holden High School is a commitment to a student-centered approach that honors who students are and focuses on their academic, social, emotional, and creative needs. Our Tuition Assistance Program allows us to provide this education to a diverse population of students regardless of a family’s economic circumstances.

Approximately 70% of enrolled students receive tuition assistance, with awards ranging from 5% to 60% of tuition. This assistance is intended as a supplement to family resources and is provided to families who have demonstrated financial need.

Your support allows us to serve a broad range of students and families in the Bay Area.

Professional development for our incredible teachers to help them remain current with the best teaching practices for our population of students.  

Consistent technology upgrades to ensure that our students and teachers have access to up-to-date technology that enhances the classroom learning experience.

A network of student support programs that empower students to realize their full potential as learners and people.

Your tax-deductible donations help us achieve our mission today and for future generations


The greatest gift we can give our students is to provide them with all the tools they need to thrive academically and socially as they prepare for a successful life beyond high school.


We are committed to best financial practices, strong ethical practices, and sharing information with our community of students, families, staff, Board Members, and neighbors.


Holden holds the Gold Seal with Candid.org, an award honoring our dedication to transparency and accountability.
