Donations and Dues

We encourage collective investment, but we do not require dues. We want our whole Hampden EMS community to participate in the PTO regardless of ability to pay dues!

How are the Funds Used?

All financial contributions go towards school community building and specific needs identified in partnership with school staff, including...

  • Providing meals and funds for teacher appreciation and team building events

  • Purchasing urgently needed items, like emergency wheelchair exit chairs

  • Funding after-school clubs and mentorship programs

  • Paying the majority of costs for student field trips (15k!) so that all Hampden students can participate, regardless of their ability to pay

  • Flexibly responding to school needs in close partnership with school staff, from providing financial aid to families experiencing emergencies to bridging critical funding gaps
