Support Pacific Primary
For more than fifty years, Pacific Primary has been a beloved school community for thousands of children and families. Your support keeps it thriving.
Why giving matters
Pacific Primary is a place where children learn to solve problems, embrace diversity, and become confident, creative learners; parents feel supported in joyfully and effectively nurturing their child’s development; and all families are welcomed and encouraged to participate actively in the school community.
Pacific Primary is a nonprofit organization and donations are crucial for our financial stability. Tuition makes up approximately 86% of our operating budget, and fundraising is essential to provide the flexible, unrestricted support that ensures we continue to fulfill our mission.
At Pacific Primary, we transcend the traditional notion of a school; we are a tightly-knit and inclusive community, where parents, board members, friends, and alumni families unite to contribute their time, talents, and financial resources to support the school. Central to this unity is giving back: every individual’s contribution, regardless of size, holds significance and garners heartfelt appreciation.
Fundraising initiatives
The Fund for All September – December
Our most important fundraiser of the year, with a goal of 100% community participation. We ask every member of the Pacific Primary community to donate. Each family is unique, and your donation, no matter the amount, is meaningful. Every gift of every size makes a difference in our children’s lives!
Here Comes the Sun Spring
An adult party for parents, staff, friends, and alumni to celebrate our community and raise funds for the school, with an online auction to match.
The Fund for the Future June
Graduating families are invited to continue a long-standing tradition of donating all or part of their last month’s tuition deposit to the school, investing in their child’s past and the future of our school community.
