Ways You Can Help PCS
Give to the PCS Annual
Fund: Since
state funding doesn’t cover our entire operating budget, the PCS Annual Fund
is a great way for you to help support the daily costs of providing a high
quality education to our students. Donations go toward special program
expenses such as swimming lessons for each child, field trips, special
guests, extracurricular activities, teacher training, instructional
materials and books, computer equipment, supplemental services and
unexpected educational opportunities during each fiscal year. To make a
donation, make your check payable to Paul Cuffee School and send it to the
Paul Cuffee School Annual Fund at
459 Promenade Street,
Providence, RI 02908. You may also make a donation using your MasterCard or
Visa or by transferring stock. For more information, please contact:
Dulibel
Ureña at 401-453-2626 x130 or by email:
durena@paulcuffee.org, or Julia Karahalis at 401-453-2626 x118 or email:
jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.

United Way:

United Way Workplace Giving Program. Please write in the Paul Cuffee School
name and Donor #4527 on your pledge card.
Donations through the
Fund for Community Progress:
Please designate Paul Cuffee School as your charity of choice when you sign

Help Build a K-12
Campus for PCS Students:
All students deserve to learn in bright, clean, well-designed school
buildings. Because Paul Cuffee School operates as our own school district,
we must raise 70% of the millions of dollars needed to purchase and improve
our facilities. In order to maintain our cohesive school community as we
implement our K-12 expansion plans, we must purchase land nearby our
elementary school and raise more than $20 million to build a middle and high
school campus.
We need everyone’s
donations, small and large, to secure appropriate facilities for our K-12
programs. To find out more about how you can help build a bright future for Paul
Cuffee students, please contact: Julia Karahalis, Director of Development at
401-453-2626 x118 or email jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.
Fund Paul Cuffee School’s Compensation Program Reserve:
Paul Cuffee is grateful to have attracted a talented, highly-qualified,
dedicated faculty and staff. In order to afford the rising costs associated with salary
increases and health care benefit premiums, we must establish a $6,000,000
reserve within the next five years. If helping to support hardworking,
passionate teachers and staff is important to you, please make a gift to the
Paul Cuffee School today. Mail your contribution to the Compensation Program
Reserve at Paul Cuffee School, 459 Promenade Street, Providence, RI
02908. For more information, please contact Julia Karahalis at 401-453-2626
x118 or email her at
jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.
Leave a Legacy Gift:
Some of our donors have already made arrangements to make sure that Paul
Cuffee School is supported in the years beyond their lifetimes. Your heirs
can pay fewer estate taxes and you can leave a legacy too by designating
Paul Cuffee School as a beneficiary in your will, for your qualified
retirement funds (IRA, 401k, or 403b), or on your life insurance policies.
Please contact your attorney, accountant, financial planner or your
insurance sales representative to find out how you can include Paul Cuffee
School in your estate plans. Continuing to make a difference in the world,
year after year, is something most of us aspire to do. If you choose to
leave a legacy gift to Paul Cuffee School through your will, retirement
plan, a special charitable trust or life insurance policy, please let us
know with a letter or phone call to: Paul Cuffee School’s Development Office
at 459 Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908 or 401-453-2626 x118.

Volunteer at our School:
Whether it’s reading to a class, sharing a talent or skill, providing an
extra pair of hands for a special project, or helping one of our students
with their homework, there is always some need that cannot be met without
additional help from our friends and families. Hundreds of people volunteer
at Paul Cuffee School each year, and their help makes a tremendous
difference to all of us. We welcome you to get to know us and one another by
contributing in some way to the ongoing improvement and long-term success of
our school. If
you are a parent of a Paul Cuffee student and would like
to find out more about how
you can volunteer, please contact Alicia Luzón at 401-453-2626 x107 or

BoxTops for Education:
You know those little pink seals on the top of cereal boxes, soup cans,
baking mix, flour, crackers and other food items? They’re worth $.10 apiece
to Paul Cuffee School if you collect them and send them to our Development

together with everyone else’s, it adds up quickly.
