Your Gift Today Will Impact Thousands Tomorrow
Unlike public schools, charter schools receive no financial support for their facilities expenses. We receive 45% less from government sources and spend 35% less per student than MPS, yet we have achieved remarkable results. We have carefully managed our costs in order to create a model that is replicable and scalable, proving that results are based on a disciplined, student-focused approach to both teaching and budgeting. As we grow, we will need to rely on private funding to pay for our own buildings, renovations, fixtures and equipment.
Specifically, a gift today will help set us on course to purchase and improve permanent school buildings. Your gift to the $9 million Expansion Campaign will not only enable Milwaukee College Prep to serve hundreds more college-bound scholars today, but will enable us to provide a world-class education to thousands in years to come,allowing your return on investment to grow exponentially.
