JOIN OUR SUSTAINER DONOR CIRCLE
Nonprofits love the word “sustainable”. As a nonprofit leader, I want - and need - sustainability in our organization, our staff, our program - and our funding. To me, having sustainable funding means not laying awake at night wondering how we’re going to afford our top-notch staff next year. Or what happens if we don’t get a major grant that we have relied on. Or a major gift from a long term donor. Or a contract for a program that we helped to grow.
Nonprofits of all sizes need to count on the generosity of our donors - be they individuals, grantors, foundations or companies - so that we CAN make plans to improve and expand our program, to retain professional and dedicated staff and to have the tools and resources to deliver engaging and inspiring lessons.
I am reaching out to you, as a trusted donor to consider making Living Classroom a more sustainable organization by joining me in our new Sustainer Donor Circle as a monthly donor.
By making a monthly gift to Living Classroom, you are helping to provide sustainable funding to an important program for our children that makes learning fun and empowers the next generation of environmental stewards.
