What your gift makes possible

Experiences that classroom budgets leave behind

Project DREAM turns donations into days students remember for the rest of their lives, in every corner of the district.

Field trips & science camp

Students leave the neighborhood for the ocean, museums, theaters, farms, and week-long outdoor science camps at Sly Park and Coloma.

Arts, music & culture

Mini grants put instruments in hands, students on stage, and history within reach, from the State Capitol to living-history days.

College Bound scholarships

First-generation graduates get a $300 dorm shopping spree, a laptop where possible, and a mentor who walks the aisles with them.
