Help keep The Potter's House available to all students.
The Potter's House School has a budget of $2.975 million for 2009-2010. With only 20% of our budget met through tuition, approximately $2.3 million will be needed to meet our budget this year. In addition to giving towards general operations to carry out our mission, we have created some specific ways for donors to partner with us.
Partnership Program
Through our Partnership Program, you can change the future—one child at a time. The cost of education at The Potter's House averages $5,000 per student. Parents pay tuition based on family income, with a minimum commitment of $550 per family. Partners for Success is one way you can help us raise the difference!
Partner With a Student
For $4,000 a year you can underwrite a student's entire education, or you can join with others and partner with a student, starting with a pledge as low as $500. After making your pledge, you will receive information about your student partner. You will also receive updates and cards from your student throughout the school year.
Partner With a Classroom
You can also partner with an entire classroom in order to assist with additional expenses. Classroom sponsors give $25,000 a year and receive a special relationship with the students in their classroom. Based upon your time and desired commitment, you can be involved in the classroom every week or visit a couple of times a year. Co-sponsorship is also available for $12,500.
Once a year all partners are given the opportunity to attend a special partner day at the school.
Pledges to the Partners for Success programs can be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. At the end of your pledge you will be asked to renew your partnership for another year–or more.
