Support Mainspring Schools |
|
All of this depth comes at a cost. The school relies on financial donations to keep these services that are so crucial to giving children a great start in life. Many of our families are low-income and are using subsidized child care vouchers in their transition from welfare to work. The subsidy rates are far below the true cost to deliver a full array of services. The Austin community has a proud tradition of maintaining this service by generously supporting it. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the school that will be used to fund early education, social services to families, classroom art supplies, or educational supplies. Your gift will be greatly appreciated and carefully managed. We can accept MasterCard and Visa donations § Make a general donation online.

· Families in poverty can qualify for childcare subsidies from the City, the Housing Authority, or WorkSource. The subsidies only pay about 70% of real costs. Contributions close the gap between costs and public reimbursements.
· Your donations directly provide teaching staff and supplies.
· The very things that make Mainsprings Schools so effective at helping families move off of welfare are the things that are expensive: low student-to-teacher ratios, more educated teachers, support for the whole family, and healthful meals. |

Mainspring Schools provides far deeper services than required by state standards and matched by few, if any, of our peers. Some of the hallmarks of our depth include: · Lower student-to-teacher ratios, which means that children get more and better attention
· Health and vision screenings
· Meals that exceed USDA requirements
· On-site social workers who provide educational and support services to families as well as linkages and referrals </ |
