The Fund for 295

At PS 295, we believe that great things come in small packages. Our “small but mighty” school community creates unique opportunities for every child to thrive.

This campaign, spearheaded by our Family Teacher Association, represents our commitment to ensuring that every child has access to the support, programming, and opportunities that make learning come alive both inside and outside the classroom.

Your investment in The Fund for 295 directly supports four transformative initiatives:

  • Before and after school scholarships — ensuring working families can access quality childcare while giving students extended learning opportunities.

  • Recess enhancement program — transforming playground time into engaging activities that build social skills and physical confidence.

  • Classroom startup stipends — empowering our dedicated educators to create dynamic learning environments with the materials they need from day one.

  • Family and cultural programming — bringing our diverse community together through inclusive celebrations that build lasting connections.

We're raising $50,000 through December 2025 to fully fund these initiatives for this school year. The goal is ambitious but achievable when our community comes together.

100% of your donation is tax deductible and goes directly to supporting our students. Because at PS 295, when we invest in our school, we're investing in our children's future.

Questions? Contact us. We’re happy to help.
