There are a few ways your donation will help us, and you can also specify which cause you’d like to support.

• Scholarships for Students & Families: Our school is tuition-funded. When you give to our scholarship fund, this helps us turn around and offer that money to deserving students in our community to save money on their homeschool co-op courses, curriculum costs, technology fees, or regular annual school tuition. More scholarships means more students & families can say “Yes” to our program’s offerings, and that helps our school in a big way.

• Reduce & Eliminate Business Debts: Our goal is to be a debt-free business & school, but we do have a Car Note for our School’s Passenger Van to pay off as well as a small credit card that we used for our start-up costs. Eliminating those two debts will help us to make some headway in our business so we can really focus on our school’s mission.

• Create new Opportunities for Ivy Students: Simply put, your donations help us to say “Yes” to things on our wish-list that help us teach our students effectively in ways that are both memorable & meaningful. For us, this usually this includes play-based, hands-on resources & experiences.
  
  Our current wish-list includes:

  • The purchase of certain craft, sensory, and project supplies we are running low on (Watercolor Refills for our Palettes, Specific Colors of Construction Paper, Specific Tempera Paint Colors to Refill, etc.)

  • Educational Resources to teach concepts we’re learning

  • Montessori mats to have enough for each student

  • Securing a building that meets the needs of our Micro-School, Homeschool Co-op, and gives back to our local community as well.

    Note: We’ve found a building that would meet these needs beautifully, but we don’t have the adequate business capital to move forward with it just yet.

We would really love to show our appreciation to you for your donation by giving you or your organization a shout out on our Social Media Pages, Website, and Email Newsletter if you will allow us to do so. We can provide an update for how your donation is being used in our program as well.

Email us at theivymicroschool@gmail.com to let us know the name or business you would like us to recognize as well as the specific cause you prefer your donation to go towards.

We would love for you to follow us on Social Media where you can see, on a weekly basis, how we are carrying out our mission. You can also join our Email Newsletter where we can keep you in the loop of what’s happening with our school on a deeper level, including volunteer opportunities & fund-raising efforts.
