Our Mission & Governance
Friends of O'Farrell, Inc. is a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to supporting The O'Farrell Charter School community. We encourage and support, through volunteerism and financial contributions, the quality academic and social education for O'Farrell students.
Governed by an independent Board of Trustees, FOF manages more than 20 active accounts — each overseen by a parent or O'Farrell employee volunteer — ensuring that resources reach students directly and transparently.
"The foundation's support focuses on initiatives that cannot be funded through the school's general fund — from classroom mini-grants and music programs to after-school sports and student service projects."
