Special Projects
Partner investments are vital for our mission to improve children's lives. Public funding covers 50% of our expenses, and we rely on donors, foundations, and sponsors for the rest. We seek investors who share our values to help us expand and make a real impact on kids' education and futures. While we don't offer stock options, your return on investment can be measured by the number of children we can help excel in school and in life. Support special projects to shape our future and break the cycle of poverty—because all kids deserve the chance to succeed.
