Dear Fammatre Families,

As a member of the Fammatre Family for over 5 years I have learned how much my 3^rd and 5^th graders' student experience is dependent on charitable contributions that supplement the limited school's budget. It is for this reason I have volunteered to coordinate the Home & School Club (HSC) annual Giving Campaign. The Giving Campaign is the largest fund raiser where 100% of donations go directly to the students and in which donations are tax deductible.

This year, Home & School Club (HSC) plans to invest over $120,000 into the school and the Giving Campaign is hoping to contribute $50,000 towards these funds. A few of the programs (and their approximate costs for the year) the HSC is trying to fund through the Giving Campaign are Classroom Supplies ($23,150), Field Trips ($9,000) and in class Performing Arts by Starting Arts ($15,000).

To donate by credit card or PayPal click on the "DONATE" button on this page.

To donate via Venmo, our account is @Fammatre-HSC.

To donate by personal check, make the check payable to Fammatre HSC and please include “Giving Campaign” in the comments section. Complete the Donation and Corporate Matching Form and include it with your check and leave in the school office or mail it directly to the Fammatre office - 2800 New Jersey Ave, San Jose, CA 95124.

To donate with Corporate Matching, please see our Q&A and Donation and Corporate Matching form.

Regardless of age, grade, or academic level, the contribution you make to the Giving Campaign will positively benefit your child’s experience at Fammatre this academic year. To maintain the level of experience of past years, we recommend a contribution of $300 per child.

The campaign to raise $50,000 starts on September 13, 2021. Should you have any questions, please see our Q&A document and feel free to reach out to me at SJfamily4D@gmail.com.
