Support the Sanderlin IB Program

Make a one-time or monthly gift. Friends of Sanderlin is a 501(c)(3) public charity, so your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our board covers the foundation's operating costs, so 100% of your donation, including a gift to the General Fund, goes to the Sanderlin IB program.

What a gift at each level can fund.

Unrestricted gifts to our General Fund allow us to meet Sanderlin's most pressing needs. If you wish to direct your contribution to a specific initiative, please indicate your preference in the donation form.

Monthly gifts

Sustain

$25 a month

Recurring gifts are the steadiest support we have. Fifty-four families (just six per grade level) giving at this level is $16,200 a year, enough to fully fund every targeted collaborative planning day for our teachers.

One-time gifts

Spark

$25

Every gift matters. This pools with other community contributions to fund the everyday tools and experiences that make learning at Sanderlin special.

Equip

$120

Covers a substitute teacher for one day, giving an educator the dedicated time they need to plan creative, connected lessons with their peers.

Enrich

$500

Covers half the cost of an IB training session for one teacher, ensuring the faculty stays equipped with the best ways to teach and inspire.

Leadership gifts

Empower

$1,000

Fully funds an IB training session for one teacher.

Propel

$2,500

A major gift that could fund essential field trips for an entire grade level, or provide 20 full days of collaborative planning time for our teachers.

Transform

$5,000

A leadership gift that can cover half of the classroom software target, or fully fund IB training sessions for five educators.

Employer matching

Permanent fund and major gifts

We are working toward a permanent fund so Friends of Sanderlin can welcome larger gifts over time. Lead donors who want to help establish it are invited to talk with the board about a pledge.

Corporate partnerships and grants

Businesses looking to sponsor and foundations looking to connect are welcome. A partnership here funds IB training, teacher collaboration, tools and technology, and experiential learning. We recognize partners in our annual report and across our own channels.
