Hi rjmahoney,
What we often hear about are individual situations such as this one coming up from time to time for a PTO or PTA. Usually the principal is involved and he or she, along with a staff member, like the social worker you mentioned, has an idea of this student's personal situation. It is usually best to work with them so the funds can discretely be given to the student. Having said that, participation in the Ski Club may be a little pricey and may require a discrete vote by the group, depending on the amount. This can be done without sharing the name of the student.
Good luck with this!
