Support our mission by contributing a donation.
Make a donation
Each year we run the Annual Appeal, which is a yearlong fundraising campaign for the PA of PS196Q. It is the largest fundraising source for our PA and funds over 50% of our programs while partially funding all others.
CONTRIBUTIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTABLE
The PA has 501(c)(3) non-profit status so your contribution is tax-deductible, and amounts will never be disclosed. The PA can provide you with a detailed tax exemption letter for your records.
Don’t forget to check whether your employer has a MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM, as you may be able to increase or even double your donation.
If you have any questions, need help, or would like to make other donation arrangements, please contact us here.
@PAofPS196Q
Donate using Venmo, check or cash. In the notes, describe your donation as "Annual Appeal" and include your child's name & class number. Checks and cash should be placed in an envelope and include the same information. Place the envelop in your student's homework folder and teacher will deliver to the PA.-
Enhance Student Learning
Your donation directly supports educational programs, technology, books, and resources that improve classroom experiences and academic outcomes.
-
Support Teachers & Staff
Contributions can fund professional development, classroom supplies, and tools that help teachers deliver high-quality education.
-
Bridge Budget Gaps
Public funding often falls short. Your support helps fill critical gaps and ensures programs aren’t cut due to budget constraints.
Class Trip T-Shirts
Students are encouraged to wear their red class trip t-shirt for class trips. To purchase a shirt, you can Venmo your order @PAofPS196Q or send in a check or cash, which can be handed to your teacher. Shirts are $10 and come in all youth sizes. Please label your purchase as “Trip T-shirt” and provide the student’s name, class and size of shirt (XS, S, M, or L). Do not wait until the day before the trip!
