Fundraising at Magnolia Elementary

At Magnolia Elementary, we believe that fundraising should be inclusive, equitable, and community-driven. Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to the resources they need to learn and grow, regardless of their family’s ability to contribute financially.

1. Participation for All – community events are always free
2. Giving is welcome and encouraged in all ways. Talent, energy, time, and monetarily – everyone in our community has something valuable to offer. We will provide opportunities for everyone in the community to participate in supporting our community and school.
3. Equal Recognition – every act of support, no matter the size or form, is celebrated. We appreciate all who give, whether it’s time, talent, or financial support.
4. No Pressure Giving – giving should feel good, never obligatory. There is no expectation for anyone to give beyond their means.
5. No Student Sales – no students selling products or competing for donations. Fundraising should never be a burden on children. (example, catalogues/wrapping paper kids sold from in the early 2000’s)
