YOUR GENEROSITY BRIDGES THE GAP

Did you know that due to Seattle Public Schools funding shortfalls, critical resources for Coe students are not fully funded? This includes reading specialists, academic tutors, librarian time and more!

One of our biggest fundraisers of the year, proceeds from the Fall Fund Drive support our school’s PTA Staffing Grant, which bridges that gap and we can’t do it without you!

With your generous support and a suggested donation of $250 per family, we can meet our $82,000 fundraising goal to fund vital educational resources for our school. 

A meaningful contribution in any amount is greatly appreciated. 

We are proud of Coe’s longstanding commitment to fundraise for historically underfunded PTAs at community schools. As part of our 2023 Fall Fund Drive, we are excited to support the Licton Springs K-8 PTO in their fundraising efforts. Located in Ballard, Licton Springs has a Native-centered curriculum with a focus on social justice and equity. Please consider also donating to this community gem in support of their priority initiatives.

Does your employer offer charitable matching? Be sure to take advantage of your employer’s charitable gift matching program to double or triple your donation - and your impact! - for our Coe community.
