Ways to Support Wedgwood Coop
Fundraising
There are several ways to participate in Fundraising at Wedgwood Cooperative Preschool!
Our biggest fundraising events are:
1) Holiday Coffee and Tea Sales
We partnered again with Seattle-based coffee roasting company Caffé Umbria (caffeumbria.com) and tea with Rishi (rishi-tea.com), an organic and direct trade tea company.

2) The Spring Silent Auction May 11th-14th, 2020.
This is our most important and popular fundraising event. The theme is Time and Talent.
Items are donated from our community and solicited from local businesses.
The auction usually takes place at our April all-school meeting, however with statewide social distancing measures still in place due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, this year's auction has been moved to an online platform. The auction has been reschedule to May 11th -14th and items are being accepted until May 5th. Information about bidding will be emailed to each current co-op member.
For those seeking donations from local business, know that they often require requests to be made well in advance. If you know what you would like to donate, or if you would like to approach a local talent, service or business about an auction now, below is the procurement forms and an “Ask Letter” you can use:

Financial Support
As a non-profit organization Wedgwood Cooperative preschool also accepts and greatly appreciates any tax deductible donations. Our treasurer will send you a receipt with our tax ID number for your records.
If you would like to make a tax deductible donation, please send a check made payable to Wedgwood Cooperative Preschool, with "Scholarship Fund Donation" on the memo line of the check and send to:

Many large employers offer to match your charitable donations. This can double the value of gifts and donations from co-op friends and family. Families who make donations to Wedgwood Cooperative preschool should first check whether their employer will match their donation.

Ways to Support PAC (Parent Advisory Council)
Support the Scholarship Fund
The NSC Cooperative Preschool PAC Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to families who need help paying for preschool. Qualifying families may receive up to 50% of their co-op tuition costs.
Each year, around 80 families, or 10% of our co-op population are helped in this way. 100% of the money raised for the scholarship fund goes to tuition assistance. Our requests for scholarship funds continue to increase each year.
