Fundraising at Orinda Intermediate School

Orinda Intermediate School has a history of excellence in education and your donations directly fund the 27 school-day courses and numerous programs benefiting every single OIS student. Orinda Union School District (OUSD) is one of the lowest funded school districts in the state. 

To bridge the gap between what the state provides and what our school needs to maintain its current level of programming, we need to raise $1,022,000. Your donation is used to fund programs THIS school year!

Donated funds are budgeted in collaboration with our OIS site administrative team, OIS teachers and  OUSD. The budget reflects what OIS needs to maintain core OIS programs and school-day courses including:  All foreign language classes, Computer Programming, Web Design, Art, Sculpture, Drama, Public Speaking and Debate, Woodworking, Maker Space, Leadership, Yearbook, Video Production, Band, Chorus and more. Donations also support our popular OIS lunchtime clubs, lunchtime intramural sports, the OIS library and librarian and classroom technology.

To reach our goal of $1,022,000 for this academic year and maintain our programming, we are asking you to make a donation of $2,000 per student this school year. Our goal is 100% participation from OIS families.

Please consider leveling up your donation to the Bulldog Boost level or more. We appreciate your contribution at whatever level feels right for your family. Every donation amount helps. And don't forget about corporate matching- many employers offer corporate match programs. Click here to see how it works. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
