Invest In Your Saber 2024 - 2025

The Invest In Your Saber (IIYS) campaign funds additional academic, technological and athletic purchases not funded by Williamson County. The school and the PTO rely on these tax-deductible donations to enhance your child’s learning environment. This is the PRIMARY fundraiser for the PTO. 

Our 2024-2025 IIYS campaign goal is $50,000. While an investment of $200 per family will have the greatest impact, ANY DONATION AMOUNT will be greatly appreciated! Every Sunset MS family who contributes to the IIYS fundraising campaign becomes a member of the PTO – no separate dues to pay, and gains access to the SMS Family Directory, through the PTO website.

The SMS PTO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your donation is tax-deductible and many employers will match your donation. We have included a list below with some of the companies that have provided matching or partial donations in past years.

Please help us keep Sunset Middle School an excellent academic environment by making your donation today. Click here to donate online.

Double Your Donation with a Matching gift!

What is a corporate matching donation? A corporate matching donation, or matching gift, is when an employer matches an employee's non-profit donation, often equal to or greater than the employee’s donation amount. A matching gift is a great way for a donor to increase their contribution to Invest In Your Saber. Sunset Middle School PTO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Below are some of the companies that have matched SMS families' gifts in previous years:

The matching gift process differs from company to company. Please check with your employer’s HR or Benefits department and verify if they offer a matching program. Some require a completed paper acknowledgment form, while others use an online system such as Benevity or Cybergrants.

If you need a copy of your Invest In Your Saber receipt, you may access it any time by logging in to the PTO's website and clicking on PREVIOUS ORDERS in the top right corner. If you need verification or a signature from the PTO, simply send the paperwork in to the school office with a note for the PTO. If you have any questions or need additional information, please email sunsetmiddlepto@gmail.com.
