Salmon Bay K-8 families and staff work together to build and sustain the people, programs, and activities that contribute to our unique and thriving school. Your generous donations of time and resources help us close the gap between what the district provides and we want for our students and school community.
For the 2024-2025 school year, FOSB budgeted $308,000 to fill this gap. We raise funds annually through our spring auction + fall direct giving + everyday ways. Please consider donating anytime or during one of our fundraising campaigns at givebutter.com/fosb. Donations are tax-deductible. Corporate matching welcome. Every little bit helps!
Our Fall Direct Giving Campaign ran from November 1st to November 22nd.
