The Puget Community Fund

Fund Mission & Overview

The Puget Community Fund represents our core commitment to reinvesting in the neighborhoods we serve. For every business that partners with Puget Collective, 10% of their participation fee is allocated directly to the fund. These resources are dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities and supporting student development within our local school districts.

It is a sustainable, cyclical model where business growth directly contributes to community strength.

Funding Priorities

The fund is strategically directed toward initiatives that have a direct and measurable impact on student learning and engagement. Our primary funding priorities include:

• Classroom & Teacher Support

  Providing essential supplies and materials that teachers often purchase themselves, from classroom resources to specialized equipment for STEM and arts programs.

• Extracurricular Programs

  Supporting a wide range of student clubs and athletic teams by funding necessary equipment, uniforms, and participation fees, ensuring all students can explore their interests.

• Academic Enrichment

  Funding participation in academic competitions, workshops, and project-based learning initiatives that allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings.
