Sister School Supply Drive |

School Supplies Needed!
Our sister school, Fremont Elementary located in Antioch, CA, could really use our help with providing its teachers with necessary school supplies. An Amazon wish list has been created to make giving super easy for everyone.
Please make sure to have the supplies delivered directly to the Gift Registry address on file for Fremont Elementary. You will see this as a shipping address option at checkout.
Please consider giving to this amazing group of teachers and students who just need a little extra help.
Questions? Contact Patty Feger, PTA Sister School Chair

Matching Funds Help DESEF Reach Fundraising Goals |
|
Matching Funds
Many employers offer matching donation programs and will match charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. Disney Elementary School Education Foundation (DESEF) is a 501(c)(3) charity and all your donations are eligible for company matching (Tax ID# 20-3046825). Last year, DESEF received more than $21,000 in corporate matching funds.
You can contact your human resources department or search your company’s website for community giving to check if a matching program exists. The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF) also has a database of some companies that offer matching funds: http://www.srvef.org/Donate/MatchingGifts.aspx
We are so grateful for your generosity and hope you take great pride in the impact your gift makes for Walt Disney Elementary School.
