Both the Castro PTA and Mountain View Educational Foundation (MVEF) support student programming. Please consider a gift to each.

Your PTA dollars go directly to school specific activities, while MVEF supports district-wide programs, such as art and music, hands-on science, recess programs and more. These critical programs, so essential to a high-quality, well-rounded education, are no longer supported by public funds. MVEF ensures that every school in the district enjoys the same enriched curriculum.

Corporate Matching

One way you can double your contribution to Castro is to take advantage of your company's matching program.

Nearly all large companies, and many small and medium-sized businesses, offer corporate matching for their employees' charitable contributions. Google, Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, VMware, Yahoo, Electronic Arts, Applied Materials, Abbott, SAP, Intuit, SanDisk, Varian Medical, Intel, Symantec, Agilent, Juniper Networks, and Oracle and just a few of the companies have made matching gifts to Castro.

Each company has a different process for employer match. First, verify that your company participates in a corporate matching program. If so, check to see if they use Giving Station or EasyMatch (the 2 most common sites). If they do not use either of these sites, check with your Benefits person to see what steps you need to follow. If your company requires hard copy paperwork, please complete it and send to the Castro School office Attn: PTA Treasurer.

The Castro PTA is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, Fed Tax ID #77-0441935.
