Welcome to the Ridge Meadows Elementary School PTO Fundraising Page!
At Ridge Meadows, we believe in fostering a vibrant and enriching educational experience for our students. The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) plays a crucial role in this mission by organizing various events, activities, and programs that enhance the learning environment and unite our school community. To continue our efforts, we rely on the generous support of parents, teachers, local businesses, and community members.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!
Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of our students. We host two major fundraising during the school year, the Fund the Feathers Direct Giving Campaign and a Trivia Night & Auction. The success of these major fundraising efforts makes it possible to eliminate the needs for product fundraisers like selling candy & magazines. Lastly, we run small spirit night fundraisers & utilize programs like Box Tops and Spirit Wear. Below you will find a complete list of this year's fundraising efforts & goals.
2025 - 2026 Fundraisers
 |
Help us reach our goal of $12,000! |
“Fund the Feathers” is our largest and most important fundraiser of the year at Ridge Meadows Elementary! Instead of selling products, we ask families to make a direct, tax-deductible donation to support our school.
Your generous contribution goes straight to work—funding classroom resources, student programs, events, and more. We suggest a minimum donation of $75 per student, but every dollar helps us reach our $12,000 goal for the 2025–2026 school year.
100% of your donation stays at Ridge Meadows and directly benefits our students. Help us Fund the Feathers and make a lasting impact—without selling a thing!
| COMPANY MATCH | Don’t forget—your donation may be eligible for a company match through your employer! Many businesses will match charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact. Check with your HR department to see if your company participates. |
| HOW TO DONATE | Donating is easy! You can give online through Membership Toolkit or send cash or check to school with your child—please make checks payable to Ridge Meadows PTO. Want to make an even bigger impact? Share our campaign with friends and family and invite them to support your child’s school too! Every donation counts! |
| CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP |
At Ridge Meadows Elementary, we believe in the power of community and the importance of providing our students with the best possible educational experience. Our "Fund the Feather" campaign is an exciting initiative aimed at enhancing our school's programs, facilities, and resources. We are seeking corporate sponsors who share our commitment to education and community development. Learn more about becoming a Ridge Meadows PTO Sponsor this year!
