Support Roots

At Roots Community School, we believe every child deserves an education that inspires curiosity, confidence, and character. To make this possible, we use an income-based tuition model that adapts to each family’s financial circumstances. This ensures a Roots education remains accessible while sustaining small class sizes, excellent teachers, and a dynamic learning environment.

Donate

Every gift—large or small—directly benefits Roots students. Donations sustain our programs, provide classroom resources, and fund financial aid to keep a Roots education accessible to all families. Contributions are tax-deductible, and donors receive an acknowledgment letter for their records.

Ways to Give:

  • Secure online donation portal (one-time or recurring gifts)

  • Checks mailed directly to the school office

  • In-kind donations such as classroom supplies, technology, art materials, or professional expertise

  • Employer matching gift programs

  • Sponsor or donate to our fundraisers (see the Fundraisers and Business Sponsors pages)

  • Gifts of stock or securities — donating appreciated assets can provide tax advantages while supporting Roots’ mission. Please contact our office for transfer instructions.

  • Planned giving — include Roots in your estate planning to leave a legacy of learning.

Fundraisers

Fundraising at Roots is not just about dollars—it’s about dreams and opportunities. Because we subsidize tuition for every Roots family, our fundraisers provide the critical bridge between what families contribute and the true cost to educate each child. They also make possible our income-based tuition model, scholarships, and additional financial aid. These funds ensure that every child has the chance to thrive in a Roots education.

When you support our fundraisers, you are investing in children’s futures in the Chelan Valley.
