Fundraising
Welcome to the TEAM Fundraising Page
In a typical year, TEAM asks each family to make a $2500 tax-deductible voluntary contribution per student if they are able. This donation covers the cost for student programming for a week at Yosemite, including transportation, room and board. It also covers other costs to run TEAM –including transportation for day field trips, TEAM t-shirt, snacks throughout the year, meals on field trips, and the end-of-the-year party. In addition, it pays for the extra time the TEAM teachers spend on interdisciplinary curriculum development and collaboration and the hourly cost for teacher after-hours work when TEAM teachers are leading TEAM activities outside of the school day and supervising students. TEAM receives no funding from Paly to cover these costs, so your donations are essential. Over 90% of families choose to donate to TEAM, and we depend on this generosity. Some families even give more than $2500, which helps to cover the cost of families who cannot donate the full amount. No student or family will be excluded from any TEAM events or activities for financial reasons.
Thank you in advance for making the $2500 voluntary donation—our program could not run without the generosity of our parent community. You can use Paypal above, or mail in your check (payable to ‘Paly Interdisciplinary Experience’ with your child's name on the memo line), to our co-treasurer using the info below:

While TEAM will not exclude any student for financial reasons, we hope you understand that all these "extras" cost money and you will make a voluntary donation in support of the program. This donation is tax deductible (Tax ID #77-0454317).
No one is excluded from full participation in TEAM activities for financial reasons. Families are welcome to set up payment plans or donate any amount that is possible if the full $2500 is a burden.
