Fundraising at GFA
Greenleaf Friends Academy is a private, non-profit classical Christian school for Christian families. We do not accept federal funding due to the government control and interference that inevitably comes with those funds. As such, we rely on the support people just like you to advance our mission to provide an excellent classical Christian education to families on the west side of the Treasure Valley.
The 2025 Quaker Village Auction was a great success with several hundred people attending throughout the weekend to experience our big annual event. From the grammar students’ artwork, class baskets, children’s cake contest, silent and live auction, food booths, and the paddle raise to meet the Heart of Giving Challenge Match of $45,000, just over $205,000 was raised for the ongoing needs of the school. We are grateful to all who volunteered for many hours to make this event happen. We are also thankful to Corbett Auctions and Appraisals, led by Kent Corbett for their outstanding work as auctioneers to make our auction a fun and active event.
Mark your calendars for March 13th and 14th for next year’s 75th Annual Quaker Village Auction. Plans are underway for a big event celebrating 75 years of the auction.

The GFA Gala
The GFA Gala is a great opportunity for Academy supports, new and old alike, to come together for a beautiful night of dinner and fellowship. Traditionally held in the fall, the Gala serves as a special night for GFA leaders to cast vision to Academy supporters, report on the mission and progress of the school, as well as provide supporters a chance to invest in GFA and its mission through a live auction and single donations and pledges.
