In that time over four million dollars has been raised for student/teacher grants and to supplement major school district programs.

PPIE proactively raises funds by:

  • Coordinating and managing donations from corporations
  • Organizing events including our recent ‘Run for Education’ and every Fall a ‘Bon Appetit’ culinary gala
  • Managing the annual in-school parent donor program to supplement district wide initiatives including literacy programs, technology specialists, counseling, and class size reduction…

The PPIE Board relies on input from the Education Foundation Committee (EFC) consisting of representatives from each school and it’s Grant Committee for specific programs to support.

PPIE is always looking for more volunteers, donors, sponsors and partners.  If you are interested in helping us help the students of Pleasanton, please call or email for further information.

Please Consider Supporting Our Efforts.
