The Warrior Fund
What is the Warrior Fund? An annual fundraising campaign to support Ludlow-Taylor’s students, teachers, and staff.
Where do funds go? Donations to the Warrior Fund make up a significant portion of the PTO budget — 30% in past years. Think aftercare, teacher support, and community events.

Where do donations to the Warrior Fund go?
Did you know that every year the Ludlow-Taylor PTO supports our school with funding for fun activities and curriculum needs that the regular DCPS budget does not cover? This year the PTO is planning to support Ludlow-Taylor with nearly $143,000 that will be spent on programs that benefit every child across every grade, including events, teacher supplies and other requests, and aftercare.
These important contributions to Ludlow-Taylor come mainly from the generous support of our families and community.
In years past, the PTO revenue has come from:
- Ludlow-Taylor Auction (45%)
- Direct donations to Warrior Fund (30%)
- Grants (15%)
- Shopping Promotions, Other Projects (10%)
The support of every family in our community helps make Ludlow-Taylor an academically engaging and nurturing space for our children. Thank you for all you have given of your time and in donations.
