Partner with Friends of Jefferson

Sponsoring Friends of Jefferson puts your business in front of a vibrant North Park community while making a direct, visible impact on local kids. Depending on your sponsorship level, you'll receive recognition and promotion throughout the school year — from event signage to social media shoutouts to a listing on our website.

Your support funds enrichment the district doesn't cover: art, dance, garden education, and free after-school clubs. As a Title I school, many of our students come from low-income families, so this support isn't extra — it's often the only way these programs happen at all.

A thriving neighborhood school makes North Park a stronger place to live and do business. When you invest in Jefferson, you're investing in the families who shop, eat, and work right here in your community.

Make an Impact

Every sponsorship dollar goes further than a single event. FOJ operates on a forward-funding model — the funds you contribute this year go directly toward next year's programs, so your sponsorship isn't a one-time gesture, it's the foundation for ArtReach, dance, garden education, and free after-school clubs that Jefferson students will count on for years to come. Whether you sponsor at $600 or $12,000, your support keeps these programs running for every child at Jefferson, regardless of what their family can afford.
