The Claremont PTA is a parent-led non-profit that partners with school leadership to help CMS kids learn, grow, and thrive. We rely on Claremont families like you to get involved in whatever ways work for you: volunteering, staying informed, and/or contributing donations if you’re able.

What does the Claremont PTA support? Just a few examples: 

  • Teacher and staff salaries
  • Math, Technology and Special Education
  • School events and field trips
  • After school clubs and sports teams
  • Office and classroom supplies
  • Family communications like the Knightline emails

Our budget for this year is about $190,000, and the large majority comes from donations during the Annual Fund drive that’s now underway. Please click here to donate as much as is comfortable for your family.

Whether you can contribute $2,000, $200, $20, or something in between, you’re making a real difference for all Claremont students—and you’re showing that Oakland public schools thrive when our community steps up.

Check if your employer offers gift matching, or make your donations recur monthly in Paypal to spread them out. If you have any questions or feedback, just email fundraising@claremontms.org—we’re parents like you and we’re eager to hear.

Thank you for your generosity and Go Knights!

Corporate Matching Gifts

You can double or triple your contribution to the Claremont PTA by taking advantage of your corporate match benefit. Many companies, both large and small, will match donations made by their employees. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees, family members, and friends of the Claremont PTA. It’s an easy way to double or triple your contribution!

We recommend requesting the matching gift from your company as soon as the donation is made, as there may be time restrictions for a match (anywhere from 2-12 months). Please contact your employer’s HR or community giving department for more information, or contact the Claremont fundraising team at fundraising@claremontms.org.
