PALI GIVING 2026

Smaller, smarter classes start here.

Pali Giving is our annual, parent-driven campaign and the school’s most important fundraising effort by a wide margin. It pays for the extra teachers, the second adult in every room, and the music, tech, garden and PE the district does not fund.

Donation amount

Please consider donating $2,200 per child enrolled at Palisades Charter Elementary. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to send our children to a charter school where we are able to privately fundraise to support the programs we would otherwise not have access to, along with smaller class sizes and teachers aides.

Programs like computers, PE, music, garden and drama would not be available to us without these funds. $2,200 per child is the expectation we need each family to contribute in order to keep these programs and to keep the quality of our school high.

Pali Elementary is a California Distinguished School and one of LAUSD’s top schools, due in large part to parental involvement and generous donations.

Recognition levels

Lead by example and proudly display your PEP donation status. All donors of any amount will be recognized. We will never share your donation level outside of the Pali community, and are happy to keep donations anonymous when requested.

you itemize. Many employers will also match a donation, which doubles it at no
extra cost to you.
