Annual Fund

CREATIVE ARTS CHARTER ANNUAL FUND

The Annual Fund is Creative Arts’ largest fundraising initiative of the year. We rely on strong community support to make many of our programs possible, so you’ll be seeing emails from us throughout the year.

CACS’ unique programming costs over $380,000 (about $865 per student) more than what we receive from city and state funding, and a lot of it is made possible through our family-led fundraising. Please contribute if you can, what you are able. We are thankful for the support of our community at every level.

DONATE HERE: To make a donation to our Annual Fund, donate on this page or drop a check in the office (mail works too!) Many families also use Employer Match donation sites (such as Benevity) to make their contribution. If you have questions or need a letter of support to access your match, please contact Susan Shay via Schoology or email ([email protected]).

Please share this page with any family member or friend who would like to support our school creativeartscharter.org/donate-annual-fund/

VOLUNTEER: If you would like to donate your time and talents to support our CACS community, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected]

CREATIVITY CONNECTS US. COMMUNITY KEEPS US TOGETHER.

If you are able, please donate today!

 

WAYS TO DONATE

  • ONLINE You can choose a one-time donation or set up a MONTHLY INSTALLMENT PLAN.

  • IN PERSON Bring your cash or check contribution to the office or find an Annual Fund team member (Anglea, Janice, or Susan) at any school event.

  • FRIENDS AND FAMILY If you have family or friends who would love to support our programs, you can send them this webpage link or download and share this form (en espagnol).

  • Make a PLEDGE. Plan to donate during the second semester? Just let us know, and we’ll remind you! Pledge a one-time payment or installments to start after the New Year or at tax time. Email us at [email protected] your name, student name/grade, email and donation date. We’ll mark you down and send you a reminder as your pledge date arrives.

  • COMPANY MATCHING Be sure to check your employer’s program. Many companies will match employee donations and/or make a contribution in correlation with your volunteer hours! Email us at [email protected] if you have questions or need assistance.
