Thanks to everyone who contributed to our campaign!
We know this is a little late, but we have been so busy recruiting for our new cohort if teacher candidates. We were able to raise well over our goal. We are still waiting for additional checks to come in, so we don't have a solid number yet but as of right now we are at 5,381. We want to express our appreciation for all of you who contributed to our campaign and advocated for us. We not have been able to be so successful without all of your support. Thank you so much!
Crowdfunding Day 14
Thanks to everyone who has made our campaign so successful thus far. This weekend we received support from 3 new donors. Thank you for contributing to our campaign and showing that you value Indigenous Education.
We are so close to your final goal. With less than $1,000 left to go, we need your help. All it takes is 100 amazing individuals to donate 10 dollars. ITEP Director Dr. Valerie Shirley knows we can reach our goal, but not without your help!
Crowdfunding Day 12!
We only have 3 more days left of crowdfunding and we are so close to our goal! Thank you so much for all of you who have demonstrated you value what we do, but this campaign is not over yet. We are still $1,100 away from our goal but we know we can reach it with your help! Please let your friends and family know what we do and why its important.
We are on Day 11 of crowdfunding, only 4 more to go!
We are only 1% away from the next milestone and 26% away from our goal. We still need you!
Only 6 more days of Crowdfunding!
We are so close to the goal and the end of our campaign! We are so thankful for the continuous support. Don't forget that your contributions are tax deductible!
We surpassed 50% this weekend!
Thank you to all of our amazing 13 donors this weekend who helped us pass the halfway mark in our campaign. Please continue to show your support by sharing our campaign within your own networks. We only have 7 more days, we can do this!
We are 14% away from the halfway mark!
14% is the equivalent of 700 dollars. We have only been able to get this far because of you all! Lets keep up the momentum, and thank you so much to all of the incredible donors yesterday. This means so much to us and our students!
We reached a milestone yesterday!
We reached 25% of our goal of 5,000! Lets keep up that momentum! Help us get the word out about our campaign, who we are, and what we do. We can use all the help we can get!
