Donations & Fundraising

Currently, 85% of our funds are tax-deductible donations from families like yours. All tax-deductible donations to the Mira Loma IBPO go to support the Mira Loma IB program. Our goal is to receive a donation from every family. Every gift makes a difference. We appreciate that you have chosen to send your student to Mira Loma’s IB program and anticipate that you will contribute time and money to ensure that our nationally recognized program remains strong. The IB program has many needs beyond those of the typical high school program. The State of California and the San Juan Unified School District do not fully fund Mira Loma’s IB program.

Yes – public education should be and is free. Unfortunately, public financing alone can no longer provide the high-quality education we expect in our community. California ranks among the lowest states in the nation for per pupil funding. While we understand that a public education is free, a superior, top quality education is not. Each year we need to raise substantial funds to pay for significant IB Program costs not covered by the State of California or the San Juan Unified School District. We are successful because our families recognize that all good public school programs rely on voluntary parent financial contributions. Every gift makes a difference.

We ask you to make a voluntary, tax-deductible contribution of at least $300 per student. Some families will need to make a smaller donation and others will be able to make a larger donation. Every gift makes a difference. You may donate online via Paypal using the donation button below or mail your donation to:

For your convenience we can accept recurring donations. For example: A donation of $30 per month over 10 months will equal a total donation of $300. A donation of $250 per month for 4 months is a total donation of $1000.

Thank you to those who have helped fund the organization!
