Adopt a Child
Some donors who desire to have a direct impact on a child’s education may choose to “adopt-a-child”. This program enables a donor to support a child by pledging $5000 a year for each year a student is in K-8 and/or $10,000 per year for a student’s high school tuition. The donor may designate which type of student he/she would like to sponsor; i.e. from a single parent home, of a certain ethnic group, homeless children, adopted children, etc. If desired, the donor will have a chance to meet the child or children being supported as well as receive thank you notes.
