The PTO Council is halfway to our goal for the 2026 $30 for 30k fundraiser! We need your help to get over the finish line!

PTO income varies across elementary schools in the district with a range of $87 per student per year to $245 per student per year. PTO income tends to be higher at schools with fewer economically disadvantaged students and at less diverse schools, compounding inequity for AAPS students and families. Please consider donating $30 (or more) to help increase Ann Arbor Title I schools’ per pupil spending. If you can’t donate at this time, help spread the word about the fundraiser in our community.

Please click here to donate and create equitable educational opportunities for every child in Ann Arbor!
