News: FHS PTSA partners with Pintuna for fundraising effort to support PTSA programs
2020 has brought new challenges to our organization and has prompted us to think creatively about how we generate funds and stay connected to our community and supporters.
We have signed up with Pintuna, a new platform that allows a portion of purchases you make to go directly to our organization. It’s easy to use: simply purchase a gift card to one of dozens of stores, make sure Fremont PTSA is selected from the dropdown list, and use your gift card voucher to shop!
A percentage of your purchase will benefit us directly as a cash contribution, and will take just minutes of your time. In short, you’re helping us raise funds with purchases you’d be making anyway.
Shop directly from Fremont High PTSA page at Pintuna.com or download their app to get started. And be sure to let us know what you think!

Some companies also match funds for number of hours you volunteer. Please check with your company. For questions contact fhsptacorporatematching@gmail.com.
FAQ
What is Corporate Match?
Corporate match or match funding or match giving is a way to maximize the fundraising efforts of your donors. Many companies pledge to match donations to approved non profits and US Schools year-round. Some companies also pledge time and resources enabling their employees to support a cause during their working week.
There are upper limit and criteria applied to these matches.
How to get started?
To check if your company supports corporate match or match funding, please check your company website or with your employer. Companies differ in the process of applying for a match.
How to request for a match?
Depending on your company policies, apply for the match funding once you’ve donated or volunteered hours at the approved organization.
This has to be done within a certain duration of donation or volunteering date.
Some companies allow you to make donations through the approved website of their choice too, so you don’t have to separately upload the receipts of donation.
Most companies allow you to upload receipts of your donation if these organizations are already listed with them.
If the organized is not listed with your company, ask your employer about the process to nominate your organization to the approved list.
When will the Organization receive the match?
The organization will receive the match once your company processes and approves your match request.

All ELD students are welcome. Student assistants (ASB, International Club or AVID) are recommended by teachers and administrators.
Funding: FHS ELD budget pays for breakfasts and FHS PTSA pays for supplies, treats and prizes for about $300 per year.
LINK
The LINK leaders are trained by staff to teach lessons that make high school more manageable through building relationships with the leaders and with other 9th grade students. The whole theme is positive and can be demanding but the idea is for students to learn coping mechanisms. Building relationships and strong connections are critical for students' social and emotional learning (SEL).
SAFETY
CONNECTION
EXCITEMENT
MOTIVATION
PTSA funds LINK to train staff and purchase supplies such as name tags, treats, and other items to make orientation more exciting for our students.
LINK will continue using the funds to improve student experience during orientation and train more staff members.
Students for Success

- For celebrations to thank our volunteer tutors.
FHSol
- Host a recognition ceremony (with treats, certificates, and small prizes) for the Columbia KLAS students

- Name tags for our tutors and FHSol swag to use as daily incentives for students.
