FUNDRAISING
Every year our school relies on parents just like you to ensure the success of our fundraisers. Below is a list of fun and easy ways to support Alta Vista and all of the enrichment programs the Home and School Club supports.
Company Match - Double Your Donation
Many corporations (such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, and more) offer employee giving programs where they match donations made by employees to non-profits.
Please fill out this Company Match Google Form (if you prefer to fill out a PDF form here). As long as this form is submitted to us prior to the deadline, you will receive credit towards the pizza party. Note: For PDF forms, forward the completed form and your company’s receipt or confirmation to avhscmembership@gmail.com and include your child’s name and teacher.
Virtual Book Fair
Coordinator: Laura Duran
Twice a year (once in Fall, once in the Spring) Alta Vista hosts a Book Fair sponsored by Scholastic Books. It is a great way to encourage the love of reading for the entire family - the selection varies from picture books to cookbooks, and new titles are provided at each Fair. The Book Fair is also a great way to increase your child's classroom library by purchasing books from the Teacher's Wish List. Proceeds from the Book Fair benefit Alta Vista's Library. This fall, please attend our virtual book fair. More information will be available closer to the date.
Alta Vista's Amazon Smile Program
Coordinator:Ellen Harris
If you make purchases at Amazon.com through the school's website, Alta Vista receives part of the proceeds. The amount received by Alta Vista is .5% of the total spent.

Dining for Dollars
Coordinator: Ellen Harris
AVHSC works with local restaurants to offer fundraising activities where families are invited to dine-in or out on a specific date and a percentage of proceeds are donated back to Alta Vista. AVHSC encourages these relationships to establish a win-win situation for Alta Vista to gain non-profit support, while restaurants earn potential repeated business. It is designed as a fun evening out for Alta Vista families to engage in a comfortable, social setting with friends and teachers/staff from school.
Many corporations (such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, and more) offer employee giving programs where they match donations made by employees to non-profits.
- If your company has a matching giving or grant program, you can double your donation by just filling out a form (often a simple online form) at your workplace. If you have already submitted your donation, usually you can fill out the matching form even after you have submitted your check.
- If you volunteer at the school (remote volunteering counts!), some companies also offer a volunteer grant program. Contact your employer today to see if you can double your donation and make an even greater impact on your child's education!
Please fill out this Company Match Google Form (if you prefer to fill out a PDF form here).
