Why Donate to Northside?

Friends of Northside provides critical funding to our school that helps ensure it maintains unparalleled educational standards, along with extracurricular activities that matter to our students. CPS only covers a portion of what Northside needs to provide the level of educational experience for our students. The Annual Appeal is Northside’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Direct donations are the most effective way to help our school, and are used to fund critical needs such as our counseling staff, technology staff, wellness center and after-school security.  Donations also go to support our athletic teams and many clubs our students are actively involved in.  All of our students benefit.  FON strives to use donations as designated, and reserves the right to reallocate funds when needed to meet the overall needs of FON and NCP.  FON Board of Directors and an annual audit provide oversight for use of all funds raised.

Thank you for your commitment to Northside!
