Pledge Drive is Coming Soon!
This year our Annual Pledge Drive will run October 3-9th. See below for important events!
• Saturday, October 3: Pledge Drive Kick-off & Fall Fest - Join us at Alcott’s annual Fall Fest from 11:00am-2:00pm and stop by the Pledge Drive table to make your pledge.
• Thursday, October 8: Trivia Night and Parent Social - Join us for Alcott’s Trivia Night from 7-9pm at Rounders (Diversey just west of Clark) for a fun competition with other Alcott parents!
This year, the 2026-2027 Annual Fund’s goal breaks down to a $1,500 ($125/month recurring gift) per-child ask. Please consider a one-time or monthly gift of any amount to continue supporting students' creativity, confidence and critical-thinking through this supplemental funding.
New this year: we are using Zeffy non-profit fundraising platform to avoid costly fees. Please note that the optional “tip” is directed to Zeffy’s platform—not FOA. Kindly remove that option; there is also no need to cover the credit-card processing fees.
2026-27 Pledge Drive Raffle
The FIRST 50 donations of $1500 per child will be entered into a raffle for a record player and album! The FIRST 100 donations of $1500 per child will be will be entered into a raffle for a Starbucks gift card, Sephora gift card, lego set, or NeeDoh!
One raffle entry will be given out per $1500 donation up to 3 entries. For example, if a family donates $3000 for two students, they will receive two separate entries, or three for $4500. No more than 3 entries will be given per family even if their donation exceeds $4500.
If the first 50 full donations are reached by 2pm on October 3rd, either online or in person, the record player will be raffled off at the end of Fall Fest. The winner will be chosen by random and announced by email if not present at the event. Participants need not be present to win.
Participants that entered the record player raffle but did not win will automatically get rolled over into the raffle for the gift cards, NeeDoh, or lego set. The winner will be announced via email when 100 entries are reached. The full donation amount (or first installment if recurring payments) must be received in order to receive your gift. FOA board members are not eligible to win. Please email foa-treasurer@alcott.school with questions.
