Welcome to the 2026 INVEST Campaign!
INVEST is our highest impact fundraiser of the year where we ask for a specific donation amount from every family per child. This year, INVEST will run from August 20th through October 8th.
Our goal is $240,000 and 90% participation from every family in every grade.
Based on this goal, we invite families to consider one of our suggested giving levels:
Percy's Pal — $425 per student
Our recommended annual INVEST gift.
Tiger Champion — $750+ per student
Our new Leadership Giving level for families who would like to make an even greater impact at PPE. Leadership donors will receive special recognition and a small gift of appreciation.
We understand these amounts may not be feasible for every family, so we want to reassure you that every gift—at every level—matters.
Why: Every year the PTO works diligently in partnership with Dr. Young and Ms. Temple to determine the dollar amount that we ask of each family per child. This number is based on many factors, including prior years’ expenses, the PTO budget, and any foreseen expenditures beyond this. From classroom resources and staff positions to support for library, physical education, technology, music, and so much more, we can confidently assure you that INVEST dollars impact every student.
How: Donate through CausePilot now and as participation is counted, the winning grade levels will get exciting perks. We know that this amount may not be feasible at this time, so please be assured that any amount is valuable to our community.
We encourage grandfriends and friends in the community to donate as well, so please feel free to send this along to them.
Important Notes:
- The PPE PTO is a non-profit organization, so your donation is tax-deductible.
- Your company may be able to match your donation - check and see!
- If you can't donate financially at this time, you can donate your time or support without a donation by clicking through the CausePilot to say “I INVEST!” - everyone can support!
Thank you: We cannot thank you enough for your contributions of money, time, talent, or participation. The needs of our school continue to grow in exciting and additive ways as we gain more students and utilize our new facility to its fullest intended extent. We are so grateful for this community and your willingness to make this school the inclusive and special place it is for every family and student.
