Support

Thank you for your interest in and support of Mountain Sprouts Children’s Community.  Such a dynamic program would not be possible without the loyal support from community donations such as yours. If you are ready to donate, please click the yellow button or find us on VENMO: Mountain Sprouts Children’s Community (you’ll find us under Charities). If you are here for more information about donations and where they go, please continue reading below.

 

As the organization has grown and developed - beginning with the Evergreen program in 2009 and adding Willow in 2017 - the board of directors continually analyzes the balance between recurring revenue (tuition) and keeping our program affordable for families. Also factored into the financial health and long-term sustainability of Mountain Sprouts is appropriate compensation for staff. Honoring the financial needs of our entire community, whether enrolled families or employed teachers, is a delicate balance. Mountain Sprouts seeks outside financial support through grants, fundraising, and donations for the following:

  • Mountain Sprouts scholarship fund: Families who do not qualify for the Working Connections Childcare Subsidy but still need financial assistance are invited to apply for a scholarship. Funds are allocated based on need and can be full or partial tuition assistance. Scholarship applications are accepted all-year long.

  • Staff development & training: Educated and inspired staff will provide high-quality, nature-based learning for the children of our community. A gift designated for staff development will help cover registration costs or travel expenses for staff participating in approved continuing education or training courses.

  • General operations/supplies & materials: There are many expenses involved in operating an early learning program from books to toilet paper to woodchips for the Evergreen backyard. A general donation allows us to use your financial gift for any one of these needs throughout the year. Interested in sponsoring a specific item? We also have an Amazon wish list!

If you’d like for your donation to go toward a specific fund, please let us know in the notes of your donation.
