Thanks to all who attended, volunteered, donated, and invited others to the Education Justice Honor Roll Celebration last week. We had a wonderful time catching up with the stars of education justice, snacking and enjoying the beautiful Atlantic Philanthropies space.
We raised almost $15,000 in individual donations, plus $75,000 from an anonymous donor. All of those funds will be matched 50% by the North Star Fund, for a grand total of $135,000 to help sustain CEJ and UYC in the year to come. In addition, the Schott Foundation generously contributed $40,000 to increase the Education Justice Fund fundraising match for next year.
It is truly because of your unflagging support that the Coalition for Educational Justice and the Urban Youth Collaborative have remained strong for 10 years and counting.
If you forgot to donate last week, it’s not too late! Please make a contribution here now, and your donation will still be matched by the North Star Fund.
