Annual Fund
The Garfield PTSA Annual Fund ends this Sunday!
We’ve raised $195,000 – only $55K to go
EVERY DONATION COUNTS!
Please donate today and help us reach our goal.
The SPS budget gap persists, and this fundraiser is the primary source for PTSA funding to help keep teachers at GHS!
We know household budgets are tight these days, but every donation matters – what can you spare today?
When you donate to the Annual Fund — whether it’s $50 or $5,000 — Garfield students will benefit.
Every day, we see the difference the generosity of this community makes, enabling the Garfield High School Parent Teacher Student Association to support students and the teachers & staff who work with them.
Your contribution creates opportunities that bring learning to life, including inspired teachers, comprehensive academic offerings, vibrant arts programs, and a welcoming space where every student belongs. In 2025-26 the PTSA will spend over $500,000, which is far more funding than the PTSA has ever provided to Garfield in one school year.
