Make Your Gift Go Twice as Far!

Did you know your employer may match your gift to Northern Oaks?

Matching gifts are an easy way to turn your generosity into an even bigger investment in our students, teachers, and school community, often at no additional cost to you.

One gift. Twice the impact. Check to see if your employer participates and double your donation today!

See If Your Gift Can Be Matched

No match? Your gift still makes a meaningful difference! You can set up a monthly gift, or reach out to DeAnna Macias with any questions or to learn more about making a meaningful gift in support of something specific for our campus.

Every gift is an investment in the Northern Oaks community, and we are grateful for your support.

When you purchase Spirit Wear, shop at the Used Uniform Store, and attend Community Building Events, you allow us to treat our teachers each month!
