Public schools in California no longer get "everything" from the state. PTA fundraising is how Poinsettia keeps enrichment programs alive — and how every Panther gets the experience they deserve.
Community members help fund enrichment education through parent-run PTAs — our school is no exception. The PTA is dedicated to raising funds all year long through annual fundraisers and ongoing donation drives.
Check out our Programs page to see all the enrichment programs and events made possible by the PTA — none of which would happen without family generosity.
From Spirit Wear to a $500 corporate match, there's a way to help that fits every budget and every schedule.
Our largest annual fundraiser kicks off at the start of every school year as we build our budget. We suggest $250 per student — but any amount is appreciated and 100% tax-deductible. This is the single most impactful gift a family can make to support classroom enrichment, art, music, and field trips for every Panther.
Donate Now →Many companies will match your donation at no cost to you — effectively doubling your impact. Check with your employer's HR or benefits team and have them match through our Tax ID.

See Dates →Local businesses back Poinsettia for the whole school year — logo placement, event recognition and more. Choose a sponsorship level and send your details; the PTA reviews every sponsorship and follows up to arrange payment.
Choose a Level →Most major employers — including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Qualcomm, Amazon, Salesforce, and many more — will match employee donations to 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Some triple them. Some match volunteer hours. It's free money for our school — and you've already earned it.
Ask your HR or benefits portal about charitable gift matching. They'll need our Tax ID:
100% of what you give stays at Poinsettia Elementary. No middlemen. No overhead. Just classroom enrichment for our kids.
