The Partnership supports the school through financial gifts to fully vetted and approved projects that have been reviewed by the administration.  Donations can be directed to specific school programs on the donation form, but with the understanding that very specific requests towards capital projects, programming, materials or items that have not been approved may not be possible. In those cases, the Partnership will contact the donor and clarify if the funds can be directed to the desired program or initiative for an approved project or they would like the funds to be returned. With rare exceptions, the Partnership typically needs an "ask" in order to direct funds for specific needs, and does not contribute to the general budget of a program.  The "ask" may come in the form of a grant request during our normal granting cycle or more directly in cases of urgent need where we may be able to assist.
