What is PFC and what do we do?
Parents for Carpenter (PFC) is the fundraising arm of Carpenter Community Charter. We are a non-profit volunteer organization that was formed in 1986 by a group of enthusiastic parents for the sole purpose of raising funds to support Carpenter Community Charter. PFC is dedicated to endowing programs that have been curtailed due to federal, state and local budget limits.
Carpenter is a community-supported school, and we continue to depend on the money we raise to fund programs that LAUSD does not. Through our ongoing fundraising programs, Parents for Carpenter provides all Carpenter students with enrichment programs such as Music, Physical Education, Dance, Science Lab, Art and Media Lab classes.
Your monetary contributions towards Parents for Carpenter fundraising efforts provide crucial funding for the following programs:
Music
Physical Education
Dance
Science Lab
Media Lab
Art
Academic Support Specialists
Classroom Aides
Instructional Aides and Safety Aides
Educational Materials
Technology Upgrades and Beautification/Site Improvements.
The Annual Giving Campaign and the Gala raise the majority of our budget, and we rely on parent volunteers for all of our fundraising and committee efforts.
PFC exists because parents can and do make a difference.
PFC thanks all of our volunteers, families, kids and business partners that support us and make Carpenter a superior place to educate our children. For more information please email pfc@carpentercharter.org.
