Month of Giving

The Emerson Enrichment Fund Month of Giving Campaign! 

Emerson’s “Month of Giving” Campaign is a direct request to families and our neighborhood to help fund key programs not supported by state & local funding. We do not want to lose any programs that enrich the education of all students at Emerson!

With ever-increasing pressure on district funds and less funding from the state, our PTA is aiming to help bridge the resource gap at Emerson.

This month is the ONLY time the Fundraising Committee asks directly for money.  

Donations directly support students.

Donations directly support student; every dollar that the PTA raises goes towards funding academic, support and enrichment programs like:

• Reading Tutors
• Recess coach
• Mini Grants for teachers and staff
• Teacher Supplies
• Field Trips
• Library
• Technology
• Music and Art and Garden enrichment
• Professional Development
• PTA events
• And more!

An equity focused community.

As an equity-focused school, we don't expect that all families are in a position to give to the school, on top of the high costs of living in the Bay Area.  Nor do we want that to be the expectation - as our school and neighborhood continues to gentrify, we acknowledge the systems that make this kind of request difficult and not possible for many of our families.  But if you are in a position to give, we are counting on you to donate at the level that works for your family.

Ways to give.

• Click the Donate Now button to make a direct donation, with a credit, debit card, PayPal, or Venmo. Or mail a check to the school. 
• If you were paying for child care or preschool before your child or children started at Emerson, consider donating the cost of one month of care.
• Please check with your work and/or community organizations for donation matches.
• Consider asking friends, families or community members who might be interested & able to support our school.
• Can't donate now? That's okay! You can donate to the Emerson Enrichment Fund anytime of year.

You can make a one-time or recurring donation on our page anytime. This month of giving is just an ask that will allow us to collect funds up front, so we can ensure continuous programing this year.
