Fundraising Updates
Applied for Charter School Growth Fund grant launch grant. They award between $250,000-$500,000. We were selected to move forward to the next round. There are two more rounds left, and I will keep the team updated.
Submitted paperwork for Georgia Strategic Charter School Growth Initiative Start-up Grant by the January 17th deadline. This grant award is for $300,000, which is already included in our budget. They asked for additional information so working on getting that to them.
Over the next few months, I am focused on hiring and increasing my capacity to fundraise for our planning year.
General Updates Thinking through a space not too far from our school site that we could rent that is already up to code and can accommodate us should our facility not be ready to go on July 31st so we do not have to push our opening day bac |
