Take Action
We believe students reach their full potential when they are engaged and excited about learning. The generosity of PTEF donors allows us to fund grants each school year across nearly every facet of student life, providing investments into tools and methods that will go long beyond this year's students. Some programs are novel versions of the classics; others seek to build in different and exciting directions while making new connections between the schools and the Port Townsend community.
Port Townsend Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization - Tax ID #77-0679738

Volunteer
The Port Townsend Education Foundation is a 100% volunteer-based organization. If you have a few free hours that you can dedicate to others, or a skill that can be shared, we will be happy to channel it in the right direction.
There are many ways that you can help support our mission of enhancing academic programs in the PT Schools:
- Attend PTEF board meetings. The board meets once a month. Contact us at pteducationfoundation@gmail.com for details.
- Help us fundraise. There are many opportunities large or small, throughout the year, from keynote events to administrative tasks that help us to support our school district. Our volunteers are essential to our ability to grant funds year after year!
- Consider an in-kind donation. Got a building, service, or product? We need your support. Marketing and/or printing services are particularly needed.
- Serve as a PTEF Volunteer. Got 3 hours or 3 days? Project-based or otherwise... we can connect you to impactful ways to support our students. We have lots of fun and you will too. We’d love to hear from you!
The Port Townsend Public School District
also welcomes volunteer help in any capacity. You can visit their website
to find opportunities that fit your time and talent.
