Pioneer Pledge
Chadbourne Family and Faculty Association (CFFA) Pioneer Pledge
Welcome to the CFFA family! We look forward to collaborating with you to make this year a memorable and fulfilling one for all Chadbourne students. The past few years have provided many challenges to parents, students and staff, but we are so proud to say that as a community we have persevered! To provide the traditionally rich Chadbourne experience, we request every family to invest both financially as well as volunteer time. Find out more about Pioneer Pledge. Donations can be made online (using Konstella or PayPal) or by check or through employer payroll deduction.
Suggested Donation Amount
Suggested Donation is $225 per student
$100 will go to your child’s classroom / grade level activities.
$125 will go to fund school-wide CFFA-sponsored activities like school-wide assemblies/ subscriptions, math contests, art&music programs, technology upgrades etc.
Benefits Of Online Donation
We would like to encourage all parents to donate online. This benefits CFFA, teachers, parents and the environment. Some of the advantages of online donation:
Parents – quick and easy payment process. Payments for more than one child can be done quickly without the need for multiple forms. Employer match is easy and does not require a separate form. Receipts for tax deductions are automated and can be printed online.
Teachers and classrooms – funds are made available quickly. There is no need to wait for months for checks to be processed.
CFFA – online contributions expedite availability of funds and reduce the hours required by CFFA volunteers to sort forms, capture data and deposit checks. Employer match processing is easier.
Before you make donation please check with your employer as they may want you to donate through them to be available for matching!
Employer Match
Every dollar contributed to CFFA goes a long way, and the employer match programs are a wonderful way to stretch that dollar. We request you to check with your employer and use the match program if it is offered.
If your employer offers a Matching Gift Program, please leave a note during online donation and also make sure to write on the pioneer pledge form if you are making a paper donation. You can also email details to pledge@cffaonline.org.
If your employer matches your donation, please contact your HR department and ensure appropriate forms are filled out with your employer. Not sure if your employer participates in matching? Your HR Department should be able to let you know!
Some companies that participate in Employer Matching can be found at: www.cffaonline.org/pledge/match
