Our 9 Days of Giving campaign is designed to set the 2026-2027 school year in motion.

We are rallying as a community to Design a Difference for every learner by providing the resources that create our school’s unique, hands-on, and innovation-focused environment.

Our Goal: $539 per Learner to Design a Difference

Our recommended contribution is $539 per learner.

This amount represents the investment required to fund the specialized programs that define our campus experience.

To provide transparency, we have outlined an example of how your $539 contribution supports our mission.

This breakdown is based on our 2026-2027 projected budget, developed through community collaboration to meet the specific enrichment goals identified by our staff and families:

Instructional Excellence & Staff Appreciation ($310): Funds specialized personnel, such as our Reading Specialist, Library Media Technician, and Music Assistant, while also providing dedicated appreciation for our educators through holiday gifts, cards, and teacher-led events.
Classroom & Innovation Tools ($185): Provides additional materials beyond standard allocations, such as maker-space supplies, advanced technology, and specialized science equipment.
Student Programs & Belonging ($22): Supports our wellness and counseling centers, community-building events, and student-led initiatives that foster connection.
Organization & Operations ($22): Covers lean, essential costs like insurance, accounting, and system tools, ensuring full accountability.

Choose How You Design a Difference

Invest $539: Fully fund your learner’s year, or select the Givebutter recurring monthly option to spread out your impact.
Invest $1,078 (or more): Double your impact by fully funding your learner plus an additional learner in our community.
Invest $100 or $250: Fuel student innovation projects, campus personnel positions, or essential classroom technology.
Invest Any Amount ($39+): Join our extended village. Every collective contribution builds momentum and ensures a thriving experience for all.

Note for Extended Family and Friends: If you are contributing on behalf of a student, please fill out the dedicated "Student Representation" question at the bottom of the checkout page so we can properly acknowledge their support network.

Every Partner Matters. Every Dollar Counts.

Whether you give $5 or $500, your participation is what makes our community whole. If a financial contribution is not right for your family at this time, your investment of time and volunteer energy as a partner in the Collaborative is equally invaluable.

Double Your Impact with Employer Matching!

Did you know many local employers, such as Qualcomm, Apple, Intuit, and Dexcom, will match donations to the Design39 Collaborative dollar-for-dollar? Because we are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, your donation is tax-deductible.

Please check if your company, or a family member's company, offers a corporate matching program.

Who We Are: The Design39 Collaborative

The magic of our campus does not happen by accident.

The Design39 Collaborative is a parent-led, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to funding the critical layer of specialized campus positions, innovative tools, and community experiences that bring our unique educational model to life.

Because we are an independent, volunteer-run non-profit, we do not run traditional catalog fundraisers, candy drives, or cookie dough sales. Instead, we host one primary direct-investment campaign at the start of the school year.

We are giving ourselves exactly 9 days to unlock our budget so we can spend the rest of the year focusing entirely on supporting our learners and LEDs.

The clock is ticking. Let's Design a Difference Together!
