Annual Fund
The Chabot PTA exists to support the school, and to fill the gap between what OUSD gives Chabot, and what it takes to run our amazing school. This year, filling this gap feels even more critical, because it will fund small group specialists, psychologists, enrichment programs, and teacher funds. In addition, we anticipate additional needs related to health, safety, and technology, where the PTA will play a leading role. But because these programs are not funded by public dollars, the PTA must fundraise. Read more about the OUSD funding formula and PTA financial resources.
Why Donate?
- This year, the PTA will continue to support vital enrichment programs, academic excellence, and school site support with a budget of over $550,000.

- This year, the Chabot PTA is committed to taking an active stance against the clear inequities that exist in our Oakland Community. To this end, we will be supporting organizations that are working to advance equity and justice within Oakland schools. Further, we will be allocating additional funds to our Equity & Inclusion Committee who will continue to think about those in the Chabot community who could use additional support (emotional, financial, and otherwise) during this period.
