Tiger Fund Direct Donations
WHAT IS TIGER FUND?
The TIGER FUND is Topeka Drive Charter’s “direct ask” donation program run by the Topeka Drive PTA. Families are asked to make a donation in any dollar amount to the TIGER FUND, and 100% of that donation will remain at Topeka. Historically, the PTA has been a major contributor to many of the programs and services that make Topeka a rewarding educational experience for our students.
