Fundraising Gap and Goals

Grants
- Received Glen Bailey grant for summer learning program in 2027. Just received the approval a few weeks ago.
- We will not renew our contract with Fund Ed. They did deliver on all applications agreed upon. Still waiting to hear back on 3 of them. Pursuing other opportunities for grant support

Community Relations/PR
- At last meeting, Board discussed possibility of showing movie to community. "Counted Out". Dani may explore option of renting out at a theater, but on pause for now. Movie may not align with our dual language focus (movie more focused on math).
- Admin team just recorded segment for KOIN news this week to help advertise for expansion. May air next week. Jesus will share details with community once confirmed.
- Arco will participate in Beaverton parade again next month
