Annual Donation Drive

SUPPORT GPTA Donate Today!We love our school and we want all of our students to have equal access to the items they need to learn and to enjoy learning this school year.

DONATE HERE


There are 3 main organizations that collect donations for Greene.

All three organizations – the School itself, the PTA, and PiE – collect donations in order to provide an excellent education for all of our students.		Q: Is this the same ask as the School’s Back To School Packet? Is the PTA the same as PiE? Why am I being asked to donate money by so many different organizations?

A: For many families who move here to Palo Alto for our excellent public schools, being asked by so many organizations for donations seems very strange. 

Unfortunately, due to our tax structure, California Public Schools rank #41 in the nation for per-pupil funding.* Our excellent schools rely on additional sources of funding.
