The Denman Pride Fund is our direct giving campaign and the most immediate way to financially contribute to our school.
Middle school is just three short years, and your donation has a positive effect right now for your children and the community that surrounds them.
The PTSA builds on Denman's strengths by complementing the core curriculum. PTSA funds touch every aspect of school life, with strong emphasis on a well-rounded student experience.
Funds pay for books, STEAM Night supplies, educational games, teaching applications, student incentives, and more.
Donations enhance student experiences outside the classroom with grade-level camping and picnics, Denman Pride BBQs, Black Student Awards, History Night, and graduation activities.
Clubs and electives have been able to provide enriching experiences, supplies, and materials thanks to these funds.
Please donate today, so your student(s) will benefit from your generosity while they are at Denman!
Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, debit cards, and more are accepted. No PayPal account required.
Every dollar counts toward our $25,500 goal. Please consider donating what you can. We’d love to receive a donation from every family, but we know not every family can give at this time. If it fits your budget, consider giving a superstar donation of $500 ($42 per month) to help cover the costs for families who can’t donate right now. Whatever works for you, know that every dollar makes a difference.
Plus, a PRIZE! 🎉🏆
The advisory class in each grade with both the highest % of SIGNED forms and an average donation of $5+ per student will win a class celebration! Look for the flyer coming home (shown below), and return the form at the bottom by December 17, 2025 to help your child's class win, even if you donated online or can't donate at this time. Didn't receive your flyer? Print one at dptsa.link/dpf2526f or email fundraising@denmanptsa.org with the info requested in the form.
Your contribution to the Denman Pride Fund is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and may be eligible for a corporate match from your employer. (Federal tax ID # 90-0914298)
If you have connections to restaurants who will donate, or you are willing to donate a food purchase instead of cash, we would be happy to give you a receipt for your tax-deductible donation. This approach allows us to feed our staff and students more often while keeping our hospitality expenses down.
Contact treasurer@denmanptsa.org to help out.
Your Denman Pride Fund donation can go twice as far! Many employers match your donation to the PTSA. Contact your Human Resources administrator for details on how your company can join you in supporting James Denman Middle School.
Ensure that your matching fund donation is made payable to “James Denman PTSA,” which is an IRS 501 (c)(3) charitable organization (federal tax ID # 90-0914298).
