There are many ways to support our school, from swiping your Target card every time you shop to joining to PTA and serving on a committee. Every little bit of participation helpst the children of our great school.

Volunteer

The PTA is always looking for volunteers to help out with a variety of activities through out the school year. We do many events where we need “all hands on deck” to be successful. If you feel so moved to help out at our next event, please contact our secretary at washptasecretary@gmail.com.

Corporate Matching

Bay Area Companies that match employee donations

To our knowledge, the following local companies offer a matching gift when their employees make a personal donation to a nonprofit organization. This means that your employer may be willing to match all or part of your donation amount with its own donation to the Washington PTA.

A “matching gift” is a donation made by a corporation or foundation on behalf of an employee that matches employee’s contribution to a nonprofit organization. This can double, triple, or even quadruple you contribution! Contact your Human Resources department for more information. Also, please let us know if you are aware of additional companies that do matching gifts not listed on our list.
