Redwood Parents Nursery School
Redwood Parents Nursery School has offered a cooperative, play-based program for preschoolers since 1952. To keep tuition affordable for all families, we rely on fundraising as part of our annual budget. We are now seeking direct donations to help us continue our mission.
This year, we’re launching a direct giving campaign to support the 2025–26 school year. Your tax-deductible gift helps us retain our exceptional teachers and provide new learning opportunities for every RPNS family. We suggest $250 per family, but all contributions are deeply appreciated. Thank you!
Daffy covers the bank/ACH transaction fees so 100% of your donation goes to your favorite charities. Daffy also waives fees for your first credit or debit card donation up to $1,000. After that, there is a 2.9% surcharge to cover fees charged by payment processors.

About
Established in 1952, Redwood Parents Nursery School (RPNS) is a non-profit, parent-education, cooperative preschool in Redwood City. At RPNS, children have an opportunity to learn through play with a broad selection of hands-on experiences and materials. The children participate in large group, small group, and free play activities with an emphasis on free play. We strive to provide a place where children develop their self-esteem as they participate in an environment that encourages and respects their independence and capabilities in physical, social, and emotional development. We believe this is the foundation for personal success and academic achievement in years to come.
Frequently asked questions
Is this donation tax-deductible?
This donation will be made through your DAF account at Daffy, a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. The amount you can deduct depends on your filing status, whether you itemize, your adjusted gross income (AGI), and the type of asset contributed.
For itemizers, contributions to your Daffy fund are generally eligible for an immediate tax deduction in the calendar year the contribution is made. It's important to note:
- Contributions to your Daffy fund are generally tax-deductible.
- After you contribute, you’ll receive a tax receipt by email, and you can access your Tax Summary in your Daffy account at any time.
- Donations made from your Daffy fund to charities are not tax-deductible.
- Transfers between DAFs (within Daffy or to/from another DAF provider) are not tax-deductible.
For non-itemizers, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), passed in July 2025, introduced a new deduction for non-itemizers of up to $1,000 ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly) for direct cash donations to charities. Contributions to a DAF like Daffy are typically not eligible for this deduction.
For questions about the OBBBA or other tax matters, we recommend consulting a tax professional about your specific situation.
