The Art of Giving

THE BIG PICTURE

“Joy, feeling one’s own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul.”

— Maria Montessori

Ridgeline’s Monthly Donor Campaign is officially underway! This month, we’re celebrating The Art of Giving — and we’re inviting YOU to be part of something truly impactful.

Did you know that monthly donations are the backbone of our fundraising efforts?

Thank you to the 80 monthly donors who currently give!

Monthly gifts provide stable, predictable support that helps our school flourish year-round — and right now, your generosity goes even further.

Here’s the exciting news:
For every new monthly donor or existing donor who increases their gift by $5 or more in the month of September, a generous Ridgeline community member will contribute an additional $50, up to a total of $1,500!

Even mid-range monthly donations can have a significant impact. For example, a $30 monthly commitment means Ridgeline receives an $80 gift in September and $410 over the course of the 2025–2026 school year.

WHY IT MATTERS

As a public charter school, Ridgeline receives 20% less state and local funding than other similarly-sized public schools— the equivalent of receiving funds for just 4 out of every 5 students.

This leaves a $555,900 gap this year alone. Our fundraising goal is just $100,000—about $400 per student, or $33 per month, annually. We hope to cover $45,000 of the fundraising goal through monthly donors.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Monthly giving helps you plan.
It helps us plan.
It helps us direct volunteer efforts effectively.
And it helps make generosity a habit.
