Shark Fund Donation

Shark Fund is Sycamore Valley Elementary’s nonprofit education foundation, run entirely by parents to benefit every student. We are an affiliate of the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation.

Due to recent SRVUSD district-wide budget cuts and insufficient California state funding, your donation is more critical than ever. Shark Fund helps bridge the gap - ensuring our children continue to receive the high-quality education they deserve.

Your contributions support vital programs not funded by the district, directly benefiting every student in our school community. For the 2025-26 school year, Shark Fund is committing over $300,000 to Paraeducator salaries. This investment lowers student-to-teacher ratios and enables more one-on-one and small-group instruction.

Our goal: Raise $300,000 to fund these critical positions and additional academic programs.

The suggested donation is $675 per student, but any amount helps — and we aim for 100% family participation.

Without enough funding, these vital programs and staff hours will be reduced.

Every student benefits. Every dollar counts. Thank you for supporting your child’s education!
