A donation to Communities In Schools is an investment in the future of our country. For approximately $189 per child per year, we are able to keep 97% of the young people we serve in school and on track to graduation.
Communities In Schools currently serves 1.26 million young people in 27 states and Washington, D.C., but many more need our help. Your tax deductible gift, large or small, will go to work immediately. The youth we serve can't wait – this is their only chance at an education. We hope you won't wait either. Thank you.
Donations to the Communities In Schools national office fund our critical work to support our affiliates across the country. You can also mail your donation or contact Tim Plant at 703-518-2579 to process your donation over the phone. To donate to a local affiliate, use our affiliate finder.
