Our Work
Help Provide Tam Athletes with All the Resources They Need
The Tam Boosters Club is a private, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to elevate (boost!) Tam High Athletics by providing operational and growth funding not provided by the Tamalpais Unified High School District.
WHAT WE DO
Tam Boosters is the only organization at Tam High that focuses SOLELY on supporting Tam athletics. Tam Boosters relies on donations from families, businesses and the Tam community to meet its fundraising goals.
Boosters donations help to pay for athletic equipment, uniforms, facilities maintenance, rentals, Tam TV, Hudl/Team Snap, transportation, coaching development and needs and academic based scholarships.
Boosters works with but is independent from other Tam organizations such as Tam High Foundation and PTSA.
THE PROCESS
All Tam coaches are required to complete a thorough budget request which addresses their primary funding needs for the upcoming season. Once completed, each budget request is submitted to Tam High Athletic Director (AD) Nathan Johnson for review.
After establishing that a request conforms to funding requirements (needs based, fair and equitable for the whole program, within 501 (c) (3) rules, etc.), and if District funds are available, the AD will satisfy that request with District funds.
If District funds are not available, the AD will present the request to Tam Boosters. Assuming the funds are available, the Boosters board is likely to approve the request and grant the funding.
