The Peralta Fund
To support art, music, reading, science, library, sports and other programs at Peralta, most families make a donation to the Peralta Fund every year. We strive for 100% participation. Many grandparents, out of state relatives and other community members also participate.
When you donate online, a receipt for tax purposes is generated and sent to your email with the PPTG tax ID number and your donation amount. You can make a one-time contribution (large or small) or choose monthly deductions. There is no easier way to make a difference for Peralta.

Here’s what other parents are saying about why they give to the Peralta Fund:
Damon E., father of 2nd-graders
Why do I donate?
I’ll keep this short and sweet.
At the first PPTG meeting of the year, parent Luis Mesa said, “This is not about money.”
I couldn’t agree with him more. And in a nutshell, that’s why I donate to the Peralta fund. Sound strange? Not really.
Although I give, there’s no amount that could express how happy and proud and pleased I am that my kids go to this great little school. It’s a public school. In Oakland. It’s diverse, the parents are engaged, and every day I see the school yard jammed with parents and kids that are eager, excited and ready to get it on for one more day! It’s a great way to start the day.
To put how I feel about this school into words, I would have to say that the school, and everyone associated with it forms a fertile field called “Peralta” that we are all nourished by. And to keep that body alive takes all of the parts working together. And yes, money is a part of it.
The bottom line is that our kids are learning what it’s like to be a part of a community that is mobilized, organized and passionate about providing what is needed so that the school can be a true microcosm of the best of the Peralta community, it’s values and it’s dreams.
So I make sure I put a little something into the kitty, to keep this little Peralta world of ours spinning ’round.
