Thank you for your donation!

 

Your gift to FOCUS will directly or indirectly benefit all of the District’s public charter schools and their nearly 35,000 students. And FOCUS’s low overhead ensures that your gift will be spent on programs that directly benefit the schools. What’s more, your gift will be leveraged many times over. For example, in 2010 FOCUS’s entire budget was $1.9 million, but our efforts on the issue of equitable funding—just a small piece of our 2010 work—yielded an increase of $500 for every public charter school student: approximately $14 million overall. In addition, FOCUS has a matching grant from the Walton Family Foundation, which means that for every dollar you donate, we will receive an extra 50 cents, making your gift even more impactful.

 

FOCUS’s tireless work toward securing and protecting charter school funding, facilities, and autonomy as well as supporting new and existing schools with a range of services, depends on the support of people who are as dedicated to the charter school movement as we are. We cannot thank you enough for your support of our mission.

 

FOCUS is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. Your donations are tax-deductible to the extent permissible by law.
