Fall Fund Drive

EELP is a loving, safe, responsive program where children thrive. Each fall, we ask our community to support our school and the exceptional education it offers through our Fall Fund Drive. 

Why we raise funds

In order to keep tuition rates as low as possible, we intentionally budget for a gap between the income collected through tuition and the actual expenses associated with running EELP. This helps us remain accessible to as many families in our community as we can, but it means we must fundraise to operate our program each year. 

What we need to raise

Our Fall Fund Drive goal is $40,000, which will close our budget gap. This goal represents an average donation of $600 per enrolled child. However, we recognize that some families may not be able to give this amount, and some are able to give more. We hope that you consider a donation or pledge in an amount that is meaningful to your family. In the past, donations have ranged from $50 to over $5,000. Remember that many employers match donations, too!

EMPLOYER MATCHING

Because EELP is a 501(c)(3) organization, many employers will and do match donations! In past years we’ve received matching donations from Disney, Microsoft, Google, Starbucks, The Gates Foundation, T-Mobile, Boeing, and more! Note that when your employer searches for our 501(c)(3) credentials, we are a part of Sound Child Care Solutions.

Please consider a tax-deductible donation to help fund EELP through the 2024-2025 year. Any donation helps, no matter the size. Please join us in making as generous a donation as you are able by November 22, 2024.
