When you make a donation to the Louis Braille School, you give children with special needs arising from vision impairment and other challenges opportunity for a life-changing education.
Annual Drive 2010-2011 School Year
The Louis Braille School Annual Drive is a tax-deductible opportunity to contribute to the unique work of the School.
Funding for the Louis Braille School is provided primarily from three sources:
student tuition
fundraising events and grants
donations from individuals
Individual donations are the single most important source of support for the School.
As a private school, we do not receive funds from the state. Thus, we must depend upon the generosity of individual donors for the major portion of our support.
We do not deny enrollment to a child whose family is unable to pay the tuition.
Our goal, with your help, is to make the Louis Braille School available, accessible, and affordable to all who seeks its unque services.
Your donation will help:
Provide tuition assistance
Provide instructional materials
Maintain and expand the school programs
Provide a skilled professional staff
Benefit you with a tax deduction for making a charitable gift
Every student at the Louis Braille School directly benefits from your gift.
Thank you so much from the children and staff of the Louis Braille School.
