Why this year’s donation is higher
The increase is mainly a one-time reconciliation. During our financial review we found funds from the prior two years that had not been transferred as part of the school donation process. Those funds have now been properly accounted for and included in this year’s donation.
We’re glad to put these funds toward our students and schools, and we’ve reviewed our processes so future transfers are handled consistently.
Help fund next year
The 2027–28 donation depends on this year’s fundraising. Every member and volunteer makes a difference.
