WAYS TO GIVE
There are many ways to help Mill Valley schools provide outstanding teachers and programs like art, music, drama, poetry, and dance.
DONATE TO OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
In August we launch our Annual Campaign to raise funds for the upcoming school year. We ask families to contribute $1,450 per student, and we aim for 100% parent participation at any donation level. Please give at a level that is meaningful to your family. For other ways to give (e.g., stock transfer, DAF), please see below.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS
Quality education is everyone’s business! Each year, more than 130 local businesses sign on as Kiddo! Business Partners. Recognition is given to participating businesses on our website, in our monthly news flashes, social media platforms, and at school sites.

Mill Valley Market's Shop & Give Program
Good Earth Natural Food's scrip card program

And the Fuel 24:7 gas station on Miller Avenue donates a penny for every gallon pumped throughout the year. Gas up and give!
