Don Benito
PTA
The PTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to positively impact the lives of all Don Benito students and families equally by driving improvements in education, health, and well-being. PTA raises money through annual dues, direct donations, Popcorn Sales, restaurant nights and a handful of smaller fundraisers throughout the year. PTA is not allowed to raise money for staff and spends most of the budget each year.
See details below on how you can donate directly to PTA.

Don Benito
Annual Fund
Annual Fund (AF) is a 501(c)(3) non- profit organization whose sole purpose is to supplement district funds, including staff salaries (librarian + aides). AF achieves this by fundraising throughout the year through events such as Direct Ask, Jog-A-Thon, clothing donations, and a silent auction. The goal is to raise $60,000 to supplement the budget from PUSD to raise funds for additional staff, supplies and programs (such as the new Farm to Table Program) that PTA cannot fundraise for.

Ohter ways to give
Employer Matching
Employer matching is when a company matches an employee's (that’s you!) charitable contribution to a non-profit (Pst! Don Benito PTA is a non-profit). Most companies contribute dollar for dollar; some companies even more.
One donation is a gift, but two donations for the same work is incredible! However, only 9% of all donors take advantage of company matching. Please help Don Benito PTA by reaching out to your employer and doubling the donation today!
If you are unsure if your company participates in the matching program, you can check this list or ask your Human Resources department.
Finally, keep Employer Matching in mind if you make a gift to the Annual Fund as well.
Fundraising
Besides a direct donation, there are many ways to fundraise for Don Benito PTA. Check out this page for all the ways you can help. Some include partcipating in our big drives such as selling Popcorn, while others can be as simple as signing up to for Boxtops and linking your Ralph’s card for points. No act is too small.
