Gator Giving Fund

 

What is Gator Giving?

Gator Giving is a financial donation where 100% of the funds go back to benefit our school. All of your money will directly support your child's learning: no overhead costs, nothing to sell! Gator families say this is their favorite way to support Gayton and remains our primary fundraiser for the entire year. Scroll down to see all the "extras" that have been purchased due to previous years of Gator Giving.

 

Help support our teachers and students during this 2023-2024 school year!

 

The suggested donation to Gator Giving is $50 per child at Gayton annually. Donate here!

 

All Gator Giving donations are tax deductible, and many employers will provide a company match!

 

 

 

In 2023-2024 your Gator Giving will help fund:

  • Gayton Garden— provides hands on learning and teamwork skills for our students.
  • Community programs and events—helps to rebuild a sense of community and get connected again through social events and school-wide programming.
  • Direct funding for teachers— to refresh their classrooms and support in-person lesson planning.
