How Do We Get There?
The PTA raises funds through events, sponsorships, direct donations and other activities. The PTA typically hosts three major, parent volunteer-managed efforts, which supply the majority of funding. However, this year we are focusing on raising funds through the Steele Strong campaign.
Steele Strong Campaign/Stallion Fund
Steele will build on the success of the 2019/20 Stallion Fund with the continuation of this incredible effort - an annual giving campaign to help secure 21st century learning at Steele Elementary. Donations will support specific initiatives to maintain and improve excellence in education. Learn more.

Additional Fundraising Programs
- Steele Dines Out: Local restaurants donate 15%-20% of proceeds collected at the restaurant the night of the fundraiser. Steele made close to $3,300 in prior years with Steele Dines Out (SDO) fundraisers! If you know a restaurant that is interested in participating, contact Carrie Denham.
- Stallion Gear: For Stallion gear please contact Nisha Ashley at Nisha.kanade@gmail.com.
Corporate Matching Programs
In the 2019/20 school year we secured over $24,000 additional dollars through corporate matching. This year we’d like to ramp those dollars up significantly! Please take a moment to inquire with your company about their corporate matching programs. Many times corporations donate dollars for your volunteer hours, others will match a % of the amount you give. Let’s not leave money on the table that can go toward improving our children’s educational experience.
