Impact - Cambridgeport PTO

Ways We Create Impact

We are an IRS-approved non-profit organization, classified as a public charity, and typically raise and spend about $25,000 per year.

We provide every teacher with an annual classroom grant for use on supplies, resources, and activities to enhance curriculum for their students. Additional CPTO grants are available by application.
We subsidize field trip costs for all grades, to ensure financial hardship does not stop students from important learning activities, ensuring equal opportunity and access.
We host FREE academic and community building events that are open for all families, including Spaghetti Dinner / Math Night and many more events.
We provide teacher and staff appreciation gifts and meals.
We assist C-port families facing food insecurity anonymously via the school family liaison.
And so much more….
