Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is ONE?

ONE is the Orinda Network for Education - a collaboration between the Parents’ Clubs of all the OUSD schools and the Miramonte Parents’ Club to simplify and improve school fundraising.

What is the Relationship Between ONE and the Del Rey Parents' Club?

The fundraising structure of ONE was designed to ensure that your donations benefit your school.

ONE’s board and staff connect with the Orinda community at large on behalf of ALL our schools, soliciting gifts from our Orinda neighbors and local businesses. Those community and local business dollars are allocated to the ONE - Orinda fund, benefiting all Orinda schools and, by extension, our community. 

Each school has parent volunteers on their Parent's Club boards who handle fundraising specifically from school parents. This ensures that your donations stay at Del Rey, in the ONE - Del Rey fund.

What is ONE - Del Rey?

ONE-Del Rey is the Del Rey Parents’ Club’s fundraising campaign for ONE. We raise the money and decide how it is spent to benefit Del Rey. Donations go to ONE (and your receipt will have ONE’s 501(c)(3) tax number) because all Orinda schools will do better, in the short and long term, by collaborating and by pooling resources controlled by their Parents’ Clubs.

What is the “ONE Ask”?

The Del Rey Parents’ Club is responsible for raising all of the money it takes to fully fund Del Rey each school year. The ONE Ask is the amount asked of each family to donate per student to support that budget. In years past, parents were asked to donate twice yearly, which caused confusion among families and difficulties raising the amount needed to fully fund Del Rey’s budget. Now, ONE and the parent’s clubs work hard to ensure this ask is consistent across all four school sites each year.

What is ONE's Tax ID? 

ONE is a California non-profit, public benefit corporation. It is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c) (3) of the US Internal Revenue Code with  Federal Tax I.D. number of 94-2623617. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.
