Giving to Parkside

Parkside Community School is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all donations made to the school are tax-deductible. Gifts of every size are truly appreciated and gratefully received.

Parkside's Tax ID# is 74-2593776.

There are several options for directing your gift:


Amplify Austin

Since 2015, Parkside’s primary annual fundraiser has been Amplify Austin, a 24-hour online giving campaign made possible through I Live Here I Give Here. For a small, non-profit organization like Parkside, this crowdsourcing model of fundraising is more economical and far-reaching than traditional galas and other events. We are thankful for the success we’ve had with our Amplify Austin events, and the support and connections that have resulted from our participation. The Parkside donation page is active year-round, and we highlight it for special fundraising campaigns, such as our Take Sweet Care of Parkside campaign in honor of Parkside’s 30th Anniversary in 2021 and Giving Tuesday, an online day of giving held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

Annual Fund and Scholarships

By making a gift to our Annual Fund, you’ll be helping us tend to the school just as lovingly we tend to the children. Scholarships provide tuition assistance to deserving families and ensure economic and cultural diversity in our programs.

We accept donations via cash, check, electronic funds transfer, credit card, and securities.

“Parkside is more than just an amazing Montessori school - it is a community of parents, teachers, students, and staff who care for, guide, and support one another. It is an environment where everyone grows, and we are so grateful to be a part of it.”
