Why Does the Walnut Acres PFC Fundraise?
We fundraise to bridge the gap between public funding and the true cost of our children’s education at Walnut Acres. We raise funds to help pay for staff and programs that help strengthen our child’s educational experience.

Where Do the Funds Go?
Over 80% of our budget is used to pay for staff salaries: grade-level instructional aides, science lab aides, a STEM lab instructor, a Chorus instructor, a math intervention specialist and reading intervention specialists. These positions would not exist at Walnut Acres Elementary without PFC funds.

How Do We Fundraise?
Fundraising at Walnut Acres is pretty simple – we ask for $650 per child per year by direct donation to our Jaguar Fund. We also ask for a donation of around $100 per child towards our Read-A-Thon and Walk-A-Thon fundraisers, and voluntary participation in our other community building fundraising events like our Gala Auction, online auction, Book Fair, and Shop & Earn options like Dine & Donate events and Sports Basement's Basementeers Program.
