Send Our Teachers and Staff Away AND Get a TCGIS Car Magnet!!
Thanks to your support during Give to the Max and beyond, we've already covered our intern expenses for next academic year! But we still have a $26,000 shortfall in our $100,000 goal. If you haven't yet contributed to TCGIS this year, please consider helping to close the gap! This $26,000 will be specifically earmarked for professional development expenses for our teachers, staff and EAs and will cover program costs and travel expenses. A minimum donation of $10 gets you a cool car magnet and will make it possible to send them away for valuable training and development!
Does Your Employer Match Charitable Giving?
Help TCGIS close its fundraising gap quicker! See if your employer matches charitable donations. It's an easy way to turn a $100 donation into $200! Check to see if your employer offers a matching program here |
