"Ellis is so special to our family because it is a place where we can be part of a community that reflects the diversity of our city and where every child receives the same excellent education and nurturing care, regardless of their family's resources." Kristen Vicino, Board of Directors and parent of two Ellis alumni.
Why donate to Ellis Early Learning?
With an annual operating budget of $13 million, Ellis must fundraise $2 million this year to sustain our high level of care and continue our 140-year legacy.
Your gift makes a difference.
Two-thirds of Ellis families receive government subsidies to afford child care, but the state reimbursement rate does not cover the cost of their care at Ellis.
Your gift will provide much-needed support to our programs, including:
$250 replaces worn and well-loved games and toys
$500 covers the cost of diapers for three months for a classroom of infants/toddlers
$1,000 covers the cost of two weeks of school supplies for a classroom
$5,000 covers one year of nutritious meals for two children
$10,000 covers the cost of formula for a year for a classroom of seven infants
Consider maximizing your donation with a corporate matching gift.
Many companies will match contributions made by an employee (or an employee's spouse) to a nonprofit organization. This can make a significant increase in your gift. Please check with your employer to determine if they have a matching gift program.
