Fundraising

Each year, there’s a gap between school district funding and the cost of the essential classroom support and education programs our children deserve. Our annual fundraising drive helps bridge that gap so we can continue to provide an enriched, opportunity-filled education for every student.

Our Goal

Our goal this year is $150,000.

We recommend a contribution of $500 per student, but every donation—no matter the size—is deeply appreciated and makes a lasting impact on our school community.

Your generosity directly supports the programs, teachers, and resources that make Jing Mei so special. Together, we can reach our goal and continue to give our children the best possible education.

Information you may need

We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) and a separate organization from Jing Mei Elementary School and Bellevue School District.

Matching Gifts

Employers match donations made by employees to nonprofits. When an employee makes a donation, they request a matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. In other words, when you give, your company gives too!

Volunteer Grants

Volunteer grants are when companies match employees’ volunteer hours with donations. Check if your company has a volunteer program and, if so, amplify your impact by requesting a grant!
