Annual Fund (AF)
Hello Cougar families,
My name is Carolina Capatto, and I am the Altadena Arts Magnet Annual Fund (“AAM AF”) Chair.
What is the AAM Annual Fund?
The AAM Annual Fund has the critical function of raising funds to support school initiatives and programs, including funding essential staff positions, that are not covered by district or federal budgets. The Annual Fund is administered by Pasadena Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
How does the AAM Annual Fund raise funds?
The biggest source of funds are the generous one-time or recurring donations from our families, along with the procurement of corporate and foundational donations. Additionally, throughout the year, the AAM AF raises funds through several campaigns and fundraising events such as Free Dress Fridays, Restaurant Nights, Christmas Tree Sale and our annual Day of Giving.
How can you help?
Making a monetary contribution today
Please consider supporting the AAM Annual Fund by making a monetary contribution. A recurring donation of minimum $15 per month per student would enable us to continue our incredible arts partnerships, as well as fund essential staff positions, but any amount directly benefits the classroom and students at our school and helps support AAM’s programs. All donations are tax deductible.
