Support the PBS COVID Fund

This year, in addition to your Annual Fund support, we need your help to meet the unexpected in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The school has invested $1.45 million (as of Nov. 16, in addition to already budgeted expenditures) to meet the needs of our students, faculty, and staff during this time.

The additional COVID-specific investment in our campus, our team, and our community has helped us to…

…support our faculty and staff, our school’s most important resource
…increase financial aid support
…provide robust academic resourcing for both on-campus and distance learners, including additional teachers
…double the size of our 1:1 iPad program and invest in the software needed to connect securely with remote learners, and
…provide the staffing, equipment, and training needed to keep the campus clean and safe and to meet new state mandates

Frequently Asked Questions

How should we divide our gift between the AF and the COVID Fund?

Returning families

What we are hoping most families will consider is at least matching their previous giving to the Annual Fund – we are counting on the unrestricted support you mentioned to hit our regular budget goals – and then dividing up any supplemental gift in whatever way they prefer.

New Families

Because the Annual Fund is a yearly event, we recommend deciding on a gift level that puts PBS among your top philanthropic priorities and represents a sustainable commitment for coming years. (See the FAQ "How much should we give?" above.)

Once you’ve decided on an annual commitment that feels meaningful and right for your family, we would ask that anything additional you can give this year go to the PBS COVID Fund.

More information for All

Gifts to the COVID Fund can be designated for a specific purpose when you use the online giving form. The designations you can choose are listed here:

Unrestricted
Support faculty and staff
Support financial aid
Support academic resourcing
Support educational technology
Support health, wellness, and cleanliness staffing and equipment

The Annual Fund Co-chairs or the PBS Advancement Team would be glad to discuss any of this in greater detail with you, if you'd like, and answer any other questions you may have. Please reach out using the contact information in the “Getting your questions answered…” section of this page.

Is our gift tax-deductible?

Most likely – though everyone’s tax situation is unique, PBS is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all contributions to the Annual Fund qualify as charitable gifts that are made without exchange for goods or services, in keeping with IRS regulations. The school’s tax ID number is 94-2494458. Each donation is recognized with a formal tax letter that can be used to document the gift for tax purposes.

What are corporate matching gifts?

To encourage philanthropy and show their community support, many companies match the charitable donations of their employees; some will even double or triple the size of your gift. You can obtain a matching gift form from your employer. Send the completed form or notification of intent to match to the Advancement Office with your gift. We will complete the form, if needed, and return it to your employer, who then completes the match. Examples of companies that offer matching gifts are Apple, Google, and Intuit. More information is available on the Matching Gifts page on the PBS website, including a search engine to find out if your employer is known to match contributions.
