Family Pledge Drive
🎉 The Deerfield Elementary PTA Annual Pledge Drive is ON! 🎉
Now through September 30, 2025
Support our students and staff for the 2025–2026 school year by making your pledge today! Our goal is to raise $25,000 to help fund exciting field trips, install two shaded tree benches, plan fun family events, and so much more.
The Deerfield PTA directly supports programs and events that benefit ALL students at our school. Your donation helps provide vital instructional tools, enrichment opportunities, and community-building activities—ensuring every child receives an exceptional educational experience.
💙 Every pledge includes ONE PTA Membership (a Platinum Pledge includes TWO!).
Being a member gives you a voice in shaping our school and a seat at the table in advocating for education policy at the state and national levels. Membership is open to everyone—parents, grandparents, extended family, staff, and community members.
To learn more about membership, visit our "Join PTA" page.
Let’s make 2025–2026 the best year yet—pledge your support today!
Did you know?
Irvine Unified School District is one of the lowest funded districts in the country? I know, it's hard to believe but true. As parents, we have chosen one of the best locations for schools, yet its programs require groups like this PTA and IPSF to fund the programs that make us so amazing.
With the state and district receiving less funds, Deerfield PTA steps in to raise money through membership, donations and fundraising activities to support vital programs, classroom supplies, technology, and family fun events.
Corporate Matching

Does Your Employer Match?
Many companies sponsor matching gift programs and will donate to the PTA, at no additional cost to you. It’s free money! All you need to do is apply.

You can apply after you donate to our Deerfield Elementary School PTA school. PTA membership fees are excluded from this program.

How do I ensure that my matching donation gets to the right organization?
For most employer systems, the easiest way to find the PTA is to search for our tax payer ID (EIN 33-0254434). The organization will either be listed as “Deerfield Elementary PTA” or in some systems may come up as “PTA California Congress of Parents, Teachers, and Students.” This is the umbrella organization for all PTAs in California.
We want to help simplify the process and make sure your request is processed and reaches the PTA. Once you submit your application to your employer, please notify us at dfptainfo@gmail.com.
