About the Splash Foundation

The Splash Foundation, a California non-profit 501(c)3 organization, was founded in 2012 by our very own Concordia families. Our mission is to champion educational opportunities for our children while addressing the challenges posed by statewide budget cuts.

The funds we raise are channeled directly back to Concordia students, bolstering existing educational programs and enabling the creation of innovative initiatives in science, art, technology, and teacher support.

For over a decade, a dedicated cadre of parents have upheld this mission, ensuring the success of our annual fundraiser and silent/live auction, which raises approximately $100,000 each year. 

We are always seeking volunteer parents to join us in this important work. It is through this foundation that our strong, supportive community can continue to contribute to what makes our school special and capable of providing the best possible educational experiences for our children.

  • Concordia's Makerspace encourages increased interest in science, technology, art, and math (STEAM). Makerspace contains elements of technology, art design, wood/metal shop, and science lab. Students’ recent Makerspace projects include tye-dyeing shirts for the upcoming Jog-a-Thon and constructing decorations and art for the Splash Bash Auction.

  • The Splash Foundation works along-side the PTA to cover the costs of support staff that are vital to our campus. Splash’s contribution toward staff remains dynamic to accommodate CUSD district budget variations from year to year. Currently Splash is funding instructional aides for Art, Library, Kinder 1, and Kinder 2.

  • Concordia’s Robotics Club was started in 2023 and is growing in popularity! Students become inventors, tackling challenges and building wonders, while igniting their passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Fifth grade students work on Apitor robot kits in teams of 2-6.

  • The Splash Foundation stays in close communication with Concordia teachers and staff via teacher liaisons and the Funding Request process. Recent initiatives funded by Splash include UCI math teacher training, the UFLI K-3 reading program, iCan Lab furniture, Imagination Machine assembly, and the Meet the Masters Art Program.

  • The Splash Foundation works along-side the PTA to fund projects that enhance the Concordia campus. Recent projects funded by the Splash Foundation include security cameras, outdoor tables, Gaga Ball court, a marquee, and art murals by DJ Javier.

  • Science Night is an interactive family event where students and parents participate in STEM activities and experiments. From building simple machines to exploring the wonders of chemistry, families bond while sparking curiosity and fostering a love for science in a hands-on educational setting.

  • Each year, the PTA has provided all 5th grade students with the opportunity to attend a 3-day Science Camp. CUSD does not provide funding for this field trip, yet no child is denied the opportunity to attend Science Camp due to financial hardship. Splash and PTA work together to ensure that all 5th graders are afforded the opportunity for this amazing experience.
