HOW TO SUPPORT WESTSIDE
Unlike public and parochial schools, Westside relies on the generosity of our community to make our program possible. Support from our community helps fund exceptional teaching, enhance our educational program, and provide the hands-on learning experiences that make Westside special like exploration trips into nature, visiting artists and scientists, and innovative classroom projects. Every student benefits from your generosity.

Tuition Begins the Story, Giving Turns the Page.
Each fall, the Westside School Fund is an essential source of support for our programs. It enables us to educate every student, sustain our operations, and ensure the exceptional experience that makes Westside so special. It benefits every student in every grade.
Tuition at Westside is intentionally set below the full cost of a student’s education, so that more families can access our program. The Westside School Fund fills the difference between tuition and the true cost of educating each student—about $989 per student. Contributions from our community through the annual fund help bridge this gap and ensure every child benefits from the full Westside experience.
This year, our goal is $315,000 and 100% community participation. Every gift, whether large or small, makes a difference: if you can give more, wonderful; if you can’t, every contribution, regardless of size, has a meaningful impact.
Together, your support ensures that Westside continues to provide an exceptional, inclusive, and inspiring experience for all our students.
Power Up Participation
A generous donor has pledged $25,000 to unlock as our community reaches participation milestones in the Westside School Fund. Here’s how it works:
- 25% family participation: Unlocks $5,000
- 50% family participation: Unlocks $7,500
- 100% family participation: Unlocks the final $12,500
Every gift - whether it’s $1, $100, or $10,000+ - helps us get closer to unlocking these challenge dollars. But more importantly, every gift counts toward our ultimate goal of 100% of Westside families participating.
Give and Win
To further incentivize our community to increase our participation and help us reach our goal of $315,000, all NEW or INCREASED gifts (from last year's WSF) will be entered to win one of three raffles:
- Westside Spiritwear Package ($100 Value) + $50 Gift Card Pegasus Book Store
- $50 Gift Card to Elliott Bay Books
- $50 Gift Card to PaperBoat Books

All gifts that help bridge the gap of $989 or more have the option to receive a special tote bag!
