Help us gain fiscal traction for 2025. Donating between September and January each year allows our small staff to shift its focus from fundraising to promoting the program and onboarding students through the spring. Your support at this time significantly helps us stay focused on our mission.
Our Fiscal year starts September 1st of each year which marks the start of our fundraising cycle. Fundraising in the Fall, then promoting the program and onboarding students in the spring, and operate our program in the summer.
