The Spirit of Sunrise (SOS) is the school’s annual fundraising campaign to support Sunrise Drive FFO, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Funds provide grants for all student field trips, Science Day, Artists-in-Residence, community garden, 5th Grade Legacy Project, Lego robotics kits, Raz Kids, Reflex Math, playground equipment, Spiders and Cider, grant requests, library books, and much more. The entire FFO budget comes from direct donations and we need your help!

Donate to SOS by clicking the buttons below or dropping a check payable to “Sunrise Drive FFO” in the FFO lock box in the Sunrise Office. The suggested donation is $50 per student, but any amount is appreciated. All donations are tax deductible. Individuals who donate $250 or more receive a letter for tax reporting.

Donate via MTK!   Donate via PayPal!

Tax Credits

Every Arizona taxpayer has the opportunity to give two hundred dollars ($200 individual/$400 joint) to CFSD instead of paying it in taxes. This is not just a deduction; it is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit so the amount reduces what you owe in state taxes. For details see the Tax Credits page.
