Annual Fund

Invest in Your Children — Invest in Montera

The Montera Parent-Teacher Organization funds school needs big and small not covered by the school budget — from essential things like books and classroom supplies to the extras that enrich students' lives, like field trips and music programs.  We can't do it without you —your tax-deductible donation ensures that our kids keep on getting the things they need to thrive. Your donation helps sustain our success, including our recognition as a California Distinguished School. 

The school budget does not cover many of Montera's vital needs. The PTO does — with your support.

Two Easy Ways to Donate

  1. The PTO’s annual budget for the school year is $190,000 and supports our programs and initiatives. We are asking families to give what they can. Suggested donation is $450 per student. Donations range from $10-$2,000. Make a one-time or monthly donation online via PayPal:

100% Participation Goal

We recognize that every family has different resources. We welcome your 100% tax-deductible contribution at absolutely any level - every dollar counts.  If you can't donate money, please consider volunteering your time to help with a fundraiser like the school benefit, or participating in a no-cost-to-you fundraising program like Shop & Donate.

Matching Donations are Free Money

Your contribution to the Annual Fund might be eligible for a company match, doubling your donation and impact!

Here are some companies that offer a matching program: Disney, Pixar, AAA, Airbnb, Expedia, Google, Pandora, Adobe, Kaiser, Genentech, PayPal, Apple, Salesforce, PG&E, Williams Sonoma, Microsoft, Verizon, Clorox and more!
