Koko Fund

Since 2005, the Koko Fund has assisted JP students from families in financial need by subsidizing enrichment opportunities. Our program has grown significantly since its founding, which is fitting, as one third of JP’s current pupils are eligible.


The Koko Fund gives participants the opportunity to take part in after-school activities at our school, in the greater Princeton community, and at summer camps. Program partners also provide significant tuition discounts, making these experiences truly possible.


Enrichment opportunities include after-school classes and clubs, such as science, sports, chess, acting, and art. The Fund also allows JP youngsters to attend programs at the Princeton Recreation summer camps, Westminster Conservatory, and the Princeton Y.W.C.A. Other program partners have included:


  • The Arts Council of Princeton

  • Princeton Ballet School

  • Princeton Football Club (P.F.C.)

  • Princeton Soccer Association (P.S.A.)

  • Princeton Soccer Experience

  • Princeton Y.M.C.A.

  • Rambling Pines Day Camp

  • Village Shoes


The Koko Fund operates within the JP Parent-Teacher Organization (“JPPTO”), a 501 (c)(3) organization. An advisory board of teachers, parents, and community members manage and oversee the Fund. The JPPTO holds the funds as restricted money within its bank account, and our PTO treasurer reports on the Fund’s status. The Advisory Board strives to work within a framework of mutual respect and sensitivity to the recipient children, their families, and the Fund’s fiscal responsibility.
