FUNDRAISING

Fundraising

Sunnyside Elementary and SFUSD work hard to provide the best education possible for our children. Unfortunately public school budgets are limited and do not provide the wide array of programs, resources and additional school staff our children need to thrive.

The Sunnyside PTA helps bridge this gap in funding through community fundraisers, direct donations, company matching and grants in order to provide these essential programs and staff. In 2019–2020 the PTA raised $325,000 (about $930 per student). Given our current economic climate and restrictions on our in-person fundraising we have reduced our target fundraising goal for 2020–2021 to $200,000. This is still a big target but with 100% participation from our community we hope to achieve that amount this year. Every dollar counts and no contribution is too small.

There are a variety of ways to support Sunnyside! Volunteering your time or donating needed resources are also valuable ways to contribute to the school's success!

Email fundraising@sunnysidesf.org with questions, suggestions, or to help out in any way.
