This school year, our fundraising goal of $250,000 will help close the gap between our state funding and the cost of supporting the unique learning opportunities that define the Great River experience. As a charter school, Great River receives less than 87% percent of the funding allocated to traditional district schools, and the amount is designed to decrease over time. Financial support from families, grants, and corporations has always been critical to fully fund our school, and our strength in fundraising will need to grow alongside our charter.
Our goal this year is big. But we are a powerful community of almost 800 students and their families, and reaching our goal is achievable. There are several ways you can join in to support:
Sign up to become a monthly donor: $40 per month ($480 per year) per student achieves our goal
Check with your employer for matching gifts (matching for monetary gifts or your volunteer hours)
Share our mission and ways to give with others who value Montessori education
