Tierra Pacifica needs your help!
Funding for public education is insufficient to allow us to provide the type of K-8 education we believe in. Donations and fundraising events enable us to continue to provide small class size, arts enrichment, and teaching assistants. There are numerous ways in which you can make a contribution to keep the excellent programs we provide as part of our children’s education.
Note that all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Non-profit Tax ID# 03-0507280
Parent Pledges: We ask each family to give $1800-$2400 per student every school year to support our classroom staff and programs. To whatever extent parents can give, this campaign helps TPCS to continue thriving. A pledge form can be found here. Pledge forms also available in the office.
Company Matching: Please ask your employer if they can match your donation. We can help process any required paperwork, just let us know. This will double the gift to Tierra Pacifica! Not sure if your company does "matching donation program"? Check with Human Resources for help.
Stock Donations: Tierra Pacifica now also accepts donations of stock! Please call us at 831-462-9404, ext. 4#, and we can facilitate the processing of the proper forms.
Planned Giving: You can support in the future through a number of planned giving options by leaving a "Legacy Gift" to our school or giving to our Endowment Project. Call us for more information.
Grandparents & Friends: Are you a grandparent or friend that would like to get involved? Are you interested in recieving our Grandparents & Friends newsletter? Parents do you know someone that would enjoy our beautiful newsletter? We can send manually or electronically to save money and trees. Contact: Bengie Hodges at tpcsfunddevelopment@gmail.com or 462-9404 x 4.
Escrip: Go to escrip.com to register your credit card and other store membership cards that will give back money to our school. Just choose Tierra Pacifica as your beneficiary, and it's that simple!
Drive for Schools: Every Fall, we participate in the "Drive for Schools" campaign, selling tickets for a chance to win many different prizes (this year's grand prize is a Toyota Prius, Subaru Outback, or $25,000). 100% of proceeds benefit our school. Thanks to partners Toyota Santa Cruz, and Subaru Santa Cruz, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for their support in this!
Development Team: We have a wonderful volunteer team of parents, grandparents and friends working to help our school be well-resourced and thriving. We plan events, coordinate fundraising projects, and connect people with gifts, time and talents. Contact the TPCS Fund Development Coordinator for more information if you are interested. New volunteers are ALWAYS welcomed and needed.
