Ways You Can Help PCS


Give to the PCS Annual Fund: Since state funding doesn’t cover our entire operating budget, the PCS Annual Fund is a great way for you to help support the daily costs of providing a high quality education to our students. Donations go toward special program expenses such as swimming lessons for each child, field trips, special guests, extracurricular activities, teacher training, instructional materials and books, computer equipment, supplemental services and unexpected educational opportunities during each fiscal year. To make a donation, make your check payable to Paul Cuffee School and send it to the Paul Cuffee School Annual Fund at 459 Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908. You may also make a donation using your MasterCard or Visa or by transferring stock. For more information, please contact: Dulibel Cruz at 401-453-2626 x130 or by email: dcruz@paulcuffee.org, or Julia Karahalis at 401-453-2626 x118 or email: jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.

Help Build a K-12 Campus for PCS Students: All students deserve to learn in bright, clean, well-designed school buildings.  Because Paul Cuffee School operates as our own school district, we must raise 70% of the millions of dollars needed to purchase and improve our facilities. In order to maintain our cohesive school community as we implement our K-12 expansion plans, we must purchase land nearby our elementary school and raise more than $20 million to build a middle and high school campus.

We need everyone’s donations, small and large, to secure appropriate facilities for our K-12 programs. To find out more about how you can help build a bright future for Paul Cuffee students, please contact: Julia Karahalis, Director of Development at 401-453-2626 x118 or email jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.



Fund Paul Cuffee School’s Compensation Program Reserve: Paul Cuffee is grateful to have attracted a talented, highly-qualified, dedicated faculty and staff. In order to afford the rising costs associated with salary increases and health care benefit premiums, we must establish a $6,000,000 reserve within the next five years.  If helping to support hardworking, passionate teachers and staff is important to you, please make a gift to the Paul Cuffee School today. Mail your contribution to the Compensation Program Reserve at Paul Cuffee School, 459 Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908. For more information, please contact Julia Karahalis at 401-453-2626 x118 or email her at jkarahalis@paulcuffee.org.



Leave a Legacy Gift: Some of our donors have already made arrangements to make sure that Paul Cuffee School is supported in the years beyond their lifetimes. Your heirs can pay fewer estate taxes and you can leave a legacy too by designating Paul Cuffee School as a beneficiary in your will, for your qualified retirement funds (IRA, 401k, or 403b), or on your life insurance policies. Please contact your attorney, accountant, financial planner or your insurance sales representative to find out how you can include Paul Cuffee School in your estate plans. Continuing to make a difference in the world, year after year, is something most of us aspire to do. If you choose to leave a legacy gift to Paul Cuffee School through your will, retirement plan, a special charitable trust or life insurance policy, please let us know with a letter or phone call to: Paul Cuffee School’s Development Office at 459 Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908 or 401-453-2626 x118.

Volunteer at our School: Whether it’s reading to a class, sharing a talent or skill, providing an extra pair of hands for a special project, or helping one of our students with their homework, there is always some need that cannot be met without additional help from our friends and families. Hundreds of people volunteer at Paul Cuffee School each year, and their help makes a tremendous difference to all of us. We welcome you to get to know us and one another by contributing in some way to the ongoing improvement and long-term success of our school.
