EAGLES FOR EDUCATION: Annual Giving 

---

 

Thank you to our AMAZING Audubon community for making Eagles for Education week a success! We're so close to our goal! There is still time to make your contribution to the Audubon PTA to fund programs that benefit our students directly!

 

 Make your tax-deductible donation to the Audubon PTA! 

 

 

 

• Eagles for Education Annual Giving drive (Audubon's only direct donation drive).

• The suggested donation amount is $300/student for the 2023/24 school year

• We are seeking 100% participation from the school community 

• PTA programs require volunteer hours as well, please consider volunteering this year  

• Please find out if your company offers corporate matching for PTA donations (corporate matching doubles your donation)

 

Applying for a corporate match:

• Submit your application for a match to your employer (some may require a receipt which you will receive by email when you donate online)
• Please make sure that you identify us as the Audubon Elementary School PTA, or find us in online databases as:
  
  Audubon Elementary School PTA
  841 Gull Ave., Foster City, CA 94404
  EIN or Non-profit Tax ID #: 94-2733037
   
• If you are including the PTA membership fees ($10/membership) in the Falcon Drive donation payment, please only submit the donation amount (not including PTA membership fees) to your company for corporate match
• If you are making the donation through your company's gift match system,
  • Please do not include PTA membership fees, and pay for PTA memberships separately through the PTA membership form
  • Also make sure to inform the PTA, so we can keep track of donations made outside of the PTA site

WE RISE TOGETHER WEEK

 September 18 - 22, 2023

 

This year our WE RISE TOGETHER WEEK will consist of spirit days and activities, including our annual school-wide photo of the Audubon students and staff wearing their "WE RISE TOGETHER" shirts spelling out RISE UP!

 

This year's annual giving theme is WE RISE TOGETHER and we absolutely believe that this community does just that!  But we need your assistance.  Please help support Audubon and our students by donating to our Annual Giving Campaign and taking part in our spirit week activities.  Here are some things you need to know:

 

First: make a direct donation today to help fund educational programs, enrichment opportunities, and so much more at our school!  Every single penny goes straight back to Audubon, and will make a real, lasting impact on our students.  The suggested donation amount for the 2023/2024 school year is $300/student.  In years past, nearly all Audubon students participated in the Annual Giving campaign, raising much needed funds for our school. Roughly 20% of that amount came from employer matching programs. Find out if your employer matches employee donations.  Additionally, please ask your family, friends and neighbors if they are interested in supporting our school!  All donations are tax deductible (Fed Tax ID #94-2733037).

 

Second: Please return this donation form and envelope to your student's teacher this week (if you haven't already). Once your teacher receives the envelope, your student will receive a paper eagle cut out that they can write their name on and attach to our spirit wall outside of Matthes Hall.  We can't wait to see a convocation of eagles soaring high, representing a strong, unified Audubon community!

 

Finally: It's spirit week this week at Audubon!  Spirit weeks are so much fun for students and staff alike!  Check out our spirit wear flyer for a list of spirit days.  We can't wait to kick off the week.

 

The Audubon PTA appreciates donations of any amount throughout the school year-it’s never too late to contribute! Many companies will match 2:1 on Giving Tuesday (November 28).  We thank you in advance for your support!

 

If you're interested in volunteering for Eagles for Education Week please check back for Sign Ups Here.

 Last year, nearly all Audubon students participated in the Annual Giving campaign, raising approximately $120,000 for our school. Roughly $20,000 of that amount came from employer matching programs. 

 

Find out if your employer (or the employer of a family member/friend who is making a donation on your student’s behalf) matches employee donations. Additionally, please ask your family, friends and neighbors if they are interested in supporting our school!
