Fundraising

The MIMS PTO directly funds and supplies technology, programs, and materials that are used directly in the classroom and beyond. The PTO also hosts cultural events that invite the broader neighborhood community to participate, including festivals for Mid-Autumn and Chinese New Year. 

This year, the PTO's major initiatives also include raising money for in-class libraries and the installation of a large sunshade for the outdoor playground area.

CORPORATE AND FAMILY SPONSORSHIPS

For our MIMS Families and Friends, we welcome and encourage our community to participate in financially supporting the school and the PTO's numerous initiatives. Please review the Family Sponsorship Packet here to understand the impact and opportunities.

For Business and Corporate partners, we can find the right opportunity for you to sponsor and showcase your impact in the community. To understand the sponsorship levels and benefits, you can review our Corporate Sponsorship Packet here.

COMPANY MATCHING

Many companies have matching gift programs that will match charitable contributions made by their employees. We encourage you to find out if your current employer has a matching gift program so you can double your donation to MIMS PTO. Please contact fundraising@mimspto.org with any questions or to get any information your company may require about our non-profit. 

SOCIABLES

Sociables have been one of the BEST ways to get to know other MIMS families. A sociable is a party or event that you host – by yourself or with a group. It can be just for adults or kids, a specific grade level, or all of the above. Just pick a theme or focus for the event that you enjoy. You donate the event cost and the PTO will help promote and sell tickets to the experience.  If you’re new to MIMS, it’s one of the best ways to get plugged in. 

Not sure where to begin? Learn more in our Sociables FAQ page.

Auction ITEM / EXperience donations

At various times throughout the school year, the PTO will put on a Festival or Gala where we will be holding silent auctions leading up to and ending after the event. We would greatly appreciate donations of your new or like-new condition items that you believe would be desirable. 

Submit your auction items here.

Please contact communityfundraising@mimspto.org to follow up on any questions you might have.

Thanks for all you do to make our school great!
