Do you have grandparents or special friends who may want to contribute to PS107 on Giving Tuesday? Taking three minutes to write to them today could make a real difference. There is a draft below you can use to get you started.
Subject: A Special Way to Support [Child’s name] and Their School 💚
Hi [Grandma/Grandpa/Grandparents/Special friend],
I’m reaching out because PS 107’s Annual Fund—which directly supports [Child’s name] school experience—is launching a special Giving Tuesday matching campaign starting Tuesday, December 2 through Friday, December 12. Three anonymous PS 107 families are teaming up to match every donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000.
We wouldn’t be writing if the need weren’t real. Last November, the community had already raised $112k. This year, we’re at $81k—well short of our $225k goal and behind year-over-year.
The Annual Fund helps fill critical gaps in funding by supporting things like:
-
Art, music, and science teachers
-
Classroom supplies and curriculum materials
-
Professional development for teachers
-
Arts residencies
-
Gym equipment
-
Science enrichment
-
Building improvements and repairs
-
And so much more
This matching week is a chance for the community to make a real leap toward that goal—and every contribution during this period will have twice the impact.
If you’d like to contribute and take part in the match, you don’t have to wait until Tuesday—early gifts that count toward the match are open now! Please be sure to include [Child's] name in the notes section. Every contribution—large or small—makes a real impact.
Thank you for considering this and for always supporting [Child’s name]. It truly means a lot to our family and to the entire school community.
love,
[Your name]
