Valley Charter Elementary School 🌳 2025 Annual Giving Campaign

The Annual Giving Campaign is Valley Charter Elementary School’s primary fundraiser, aimed at bridging the funding gap left by state funding. The campaign ensures that VCES can continue to offer high-quality programs and resources.

Like all California schools, VCES does not receive enough funding from the state and federal government to cover the full costs of instruction, staffing, and programs. We rely on the generosity of our community to make up the difference.

All funds raised go directly to VCES to support field trips, enrichment, and individualized classroom support like TAs and reading intervention. Your donations help bridge the budget gap and keep these programs available to all students.

The goal for the 2025 Annual Giving Campaign is to raise $75,000 in the fall, which is part of our overall yearly goal of $165,000. This will help ensure we can maintain the exceptional programs that define the VCES experience.

You can donate online via this platform or drop off cash or check at the school office.

Yes! You can set up a recurring donation at any amount by selecting the option when you donate. You can choose from monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual payments.

Recurring donors are incredibly important to the school because they provide a steady, reliable source of funding throughout the year. This consistent support helps us plan ahead and ensure that programs like field trips, enrichment, and individualized classroom support can continue without interruption.

Your recurring gift, no matter the amount, makes a significant impact!

We ask that families consider donating $1500 or more per student to help us bridge our funding gap this year. However, any contribution, large or small, will have a meaningful impact and help us reach our goals, and we appreciate all gifts, large and small.

When every family participates, it shows that our community is fully invested in supporting our students. This unity strengthens our efforts and sends a powerful message to potential large donors and sponsors—demonstrating that VCES families are committed and engaged. High participation percentages make it easier to attract outside funding, multiplying the impact of every gift.
