Donations & Fundraisers

  • Corporate Matching: Many corporations and local businesses offer matching donations.

  • Easiest Fundraiser Ever: Don't want to sell anything, bake anything, buy anything or generally avoid fundraising of any kind?! We understand. You can opt out of a traditional fundraiser by making a donation that will benefit the school. Additional information can be found here:

    • You can also write a check to "Derry Village School PTA" and put it in an envelope labeled "DVS PTA Treasurer" in your child's folder. Cash donations may be made at PTA meetings or at some PTA events. Please do not put a cash donation in your child's folder.

  • Amazon Smile: Ever shop on Amazon? If so, the next time use http://smile.amazon.com instead. Choose "Derry Village School PTA" as your charity and Amazon will donate a percentage of your charges to us whenever you remember to use smile.amazon.com instead of just amazon.com. If you're tech savvy and aren't sure you will remember the 'smile' every time, there are extensions for most browsers that will do it automatically for you.

  • Box Tops: Download the app to scan your receipts within 14 days of purchasing items with the Box Tops logo. Each “clipping” is $0.10 in our pocket! There are various contests throughout the year to encourage collecting Box Tops. As we transition from exclusively clipping to exclusively scanning, the incentives to participate will be more challenging. Stay tuned during this time. Check out https://www.boxtops4education.com/ for more information.

  • Apparel Impact: There is a clothing collection bin in the parking lot in front of the school. All clothing, shoes, and textiles donated in this bin are recycled locally to benefit our community and the PTA earns money off the donations.

  • Hannaford Supermarket: Hannaford supermarkets works with nearby schools to raise money. Keep an eye out for a place to put your receipt with Derry Village School PTA written on it.
