ANY amount counts!
Thank you for joining Peralta families in contributing to the Peralta Fund.
Why Donate?
Support our children! The Peralta Parent Teacher Group spends nearly $400,000 (more than $1,000 per student!) for programs that provide social-emotional learning, academic enrichment, mental health, equity & inclusion, and community building. The PPTG funds classroom aides, music, PE, field trips, garden education, outdoor education, and community support.
Many families prefer to donate online, via automatic monthly payments.
DONATE ONLINE or bring cash or check to the main office at Peralta.
How much should you contribute?
Many families ask how much they should consider donating to the Peralta Fund. Donations range from $5 to $5,000 ($500 a month) per child. Give what you can. All donations help our kids get the education they deserve.
The PPTG spends more than $1050 a year per student to help provide the quality of education we’ve come to expect at Peralta. Please consider donating at least ONE MONTH of what you paid for preschool or childcare before Peralta. You can spread that amount out over the whole year with automatic, monthly payments. If you have means, consider contributing more to help the PPTG meet our goal.
Another way to think about possible amounts to donate. For us to meet our goals we need the following donations:
Does your employer offer corporate matching?
By using your company's charitable matching program, you can double (or more) your contribution to the school. This is a great way to significantly increase the impact of your contribution. (You can also encourage any friends or relatives interested in supporting Peralta to see if their companies will match their contribution.)
