Annual Fall Fundraiser 2026–2027

Every gift—at every amount—moves Montlake forward.
Why We Fundraise
Public funding does not cover everything our students need. Together, Montlake families help fill that gap. Every family’s circumstances are different. Please give at the level that works for your family. Gifts of all sizes add up to more support and opportunities for our students. We are looking for 100% participation.
How to Donate
1. Online Donation (One-Time or Recurring):
Visit: Fall Fundraiser.
Share this page with family, friends, and neighbors.
2. Employer Matching Gifts (Cash or volunteer hours):
Many companies — including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Symetra, Gates Foundation, T-mobile and Alaska Airlines — match donations through benevity.org or their own portals. Some also match volunteer hours! Check with your HR department to see if your company is participating.
3. Payroll Deduction Donations:
Several employers allow you to donate directly from your paycheck and automatically apply matching funds.
4. Make checks payable to Montlake PTA Fall Fundraiser. Send via "backpack mail", or mail to:

Supporting Equity
Montlake PTA also leads advocacy efforts for equitable funding across schools. This year, you may also choose to donate to Montlake PTA’s Equity Fund — supporting schools like Lowell Elementary and the SE Seattle Schools Fundraising Alliance, which lack PTA fundraising resources.
