Terra Linda High School

Marin Public School | San Rafael, CA

Terra Linda serves a student body where nearly 30% qualify for free or reduced lunch — a level of need California's per-pupil allocation was never designed to fully address. Athletic programs cost $5,000 to $25,000 per sport per season. College access programming for first-generation students runs approximately $150,000 annually. Converting idle points into a donation here could fund application fee waivers for an entire cohort of students for whom a waiver is the difference between applying and not.

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of San Francisco

Bay Area Organization

Catholic Charities SF serves over 30,000 people annually across homeless services, refugee resettlement, immigration legal aid, senior care, and family support — on an annual budget of $30 to $35 million, with over $12 million dependent on private giving. Emergency rental assistance averages $1,500 to $2,500. A full year of refugee family case management costs approximately $3,000. Senior meal delivery runs roughly $8 per meal. Points converted through Gimel become the bridge between a family staying housed and losing everything.

Tamalpais High School, Mill Valley, CA

Bay Area School District

California allocates approximately $12,000 per pupil annually — but running a full-service high school with 1,300 students costs far more. The Tam community raises an additional $300,000 to $500,000 per year just to maintain what the base budget doesn't cover. A single counselor position costs $85,000. Replacing a full set of band instruments runs $40,000 to $60,000. The wealth of the zip code doesn't always reach the classroom. Your converted points can.

CHP 11-99 Foundation

Bay Area Organization

The CHP 11-99 Foundation supports California Highway Patrol officers and their families through line-of-duty injury, critical illness, and loss — raising approximately $8 to $10 million annually to provide emergency financial assistance, scholarships, and wellness resources for the men and women patrolling over 50,000 miles of California highway. A converted points donation could fund a scholarship for an officer's child or emergency relief for a family with no warning and no safety net. Behind every badge is a family. Your points can stand behind them too.

St. Patrick's School, Larkspur, CA

Marin Private School

St. Patrick's School commits $200,000 to $400,000 annually to financial aid — because cost should never be the reason a family walks away. The difference between a child attending and a family choosing a different path is frequently a scholarship of $1,500 to $3,000. Points sitting idle in a loyalty account could convert into exactly that — keeping a deserving student in a community that has shaped Marin families for over a century.

Marin Primary and Middle School, Larkspur, CA

Marin Private School

MPMS has shaped Marin families for over 50 years — and raises $500,000 to $800,000 annually to fund the faculty enrichment, arts, technology, and financial aid that make it what it is. Individual aid awards range from $5,000 to $18,000 per family per year. Points converted through Gimel contribute directly to keeping MPMS accessible to the families who value it most but can least afford it without support.

All dollar figures referenced in these use cases are drawn from publicly available annual reports, organizational websites, California Department of Education data, and independent school financial disclosures where available. Private school financial aid budgets and award ranges are estimates based on comparable institutions and publicly stated commitments.
