Annual Fund
Please Support the Garfield PTSA Annual Fund
Our 2024-2025 goal is $200,000!
When you donate to the Annual Fund — whether it’s $50 or $5,000 — Garfield students will benefit.
The Garfield PTSA’s Annual Fund — powered by your donations — funds a wide variety of programs aligned with the vision and goals of the school for the success of every student. Your gift will support investments such as:
- Campus Safety: An important investment to support the Principal’s priorities.
- Academic and College/Career Support: Funds for GHS partnerships with organizations such as Y-Scholars, improving access to support for all students.
- Classroom Needs: $350 stipend for each teacher to use as needed.
- Project Grants: $20,000 for teacher/staff/student projects between $200 and $2,500. (Applications are reviewed by the Building Leadership Team.) Examples: Student club expenses; a portable sound system; counseling-services software; drumline equipment. Learn more!
- Grad Night Party: A safe and sober celebration for all seniors hosted and subsidized by the PTSA with scholarships and sliding scale entry. Learn more!
- Health and Student Wellness: Partial funding of the athletics trainer and financial support for students and families in crisis.
