Update on The Equity Project Charter School
Some of you may have read the piece I wrote for the New York Times about The Equity Project Charter School (TEP).
TEP's fundraising efforts for its new school building in Washington Heights are now underway. Donations can be made via TEP's secure Groundspring.org site. TEP is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 and accepts tax deductible contributions.
In contrast to most charter schools, TEP does NOT solicit donations for general operating expenses. This is because a central feature of TEP’s mission is to demonstrate that schools can make a radical investment in teacher equity by reallocating existing public funding. The only area for which TEP solicits donations is the cost of its school facility, since, in contrast to traditional public schools which receive a free public facility, New York State public charter schools must pay for their own school facility.
As a member of TEP's Capital Campaign Advisory Board, I aim to raise $100,000 for the school's new building in Washington Heights. I am also currently recruiting others who have expressed an interest in TEP and who may want to help with fundraising on some level. I am primarily looking for "Fundraising Captains," each of whom will raise $1,000 for the school building as members of TEP's Finance Committee. If you think you can raise $1,000 (it only takes knowing 10 people who would donate $100, 20 who would donate $50, etc.) or if you would like to get involved in supporting TEP in any other
way, please contact me at nyc30731@yahoo.com. You can also arrange a meeting with TEP's founding principal, Zeke Vanderhoek, by emailing info@tepcharter.org.
TEP is also currently seeking 3 lead donors to help fund its new school facility. Facility naming opportunities are available!
If you believe in TEP’s unique vision--investing in teacher equity to achieve educational equity for students in low income communities--then seize the opportunity to help make this vision a reality. TEP needs your help to fund its school facility in Washington Heights.
Thanks!
