2023-2024 Annual Giving Campaign
Tapestry depends on monetary gifts and volunteer support from its families and friends to provide for its unique programs including expeditionary fieldwork, arts programs, increased technology access, athletics, and the maintenance and growth of its beautiful campus and facilities.
Tapestry Charter School’s Annual Giving Campaign is comprised of gifts from the Tapestry community of families and friends. The campaign runs during the academic school year. Participation by all of our constituents (parents, past parents, alumni, faculty, and staff) is extremely important to our continued success. Donations in any amount will help us reach our annual goal of 100% participation!
There are many ways to give!
- One-time donation – you can donate online, by cash or check!
- Monthly giving – sign up online to have a donation come out of your account every month so you don’t have to remember when to give.
- Matching Donation – Double your impact with a matching donation. Ask your company if they match their employee’s donations!
- Peer-to-Peer Fundraising – You can work with our Development Officer on setting up a personal fundraising page and ask your friends and family to donate
- Birthday Fundraiser – On Facebook, you can select a charity to raise funds for on your birthday!
- Planned gifts – Add Tapestry to your long-term estate or financial plans

The Tyler Brunner Fund
In loving memory of Tyler Brunner (September 13, 1993-October 8, 2022). Mr. Brunner was an extraordinarily revered school leader, teacher, colleague, coach, friend and student mentor in our special and unique school community. His boundless positivity, energy and kindness permeated through to anyone who had the good fortune to know him, and it is hard to think of someone who embodied Tapestry, and what we believe and value, more than he did.
