1000 for $100 Campaign Information
Empowering Generations, Transforming Communities — One Partner, One Child, One Hundred Dollars at a Time
The GIVE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is launching the "1000 for $100" campaign, a transformative initiative inviting churches, businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals to join us as monthly partners. By committing $100 a month, you will support the creation of a private Christian school in El Salvador that will be more than a center for academics—it will be a sanctuary of hope, discipleship, and life-changing opportunities for underprivileged children. Your contributions are tax-deductible and are part of a movement that is not just about giving but fostering genuine transformation.
Campaign Objectives
Empower a Generation of Servant Leaders
Our aim is not only to provide education but to nurture servant leaders—children who will grow up living in community for their community. Through the support of 1,000 partners, we can build a private Christian school where students will develop academically, spiritually, and personally, growing into disciples of Jesus who uplift their families and communities.
Provide Holistic and Transformational Education
The school will be a haven for approximately 400 students at a time, offering more than academics—it's a place where children often overlooked by society will receive love, values, and hope, alongside knowledge and education.
Support and Sustain a Broader Mission
The "1000 for $100" campaign will help expand our scholarship program to eliminate barriers like transportation, meals, and educational materials, enabling underprivileged students to access continued education and vital resources for their growth.
Why a Private Christian School?
In El Salvador, many underprivileged children face significant barriers to receiving quality education. Among the key deficits and challenges are:
Academic Deficiencies:
-
Many students, especially those from low-income families, struggle with basic literacy, comprehension, and foundational math skills. Our scholarship students frequently display these academic challenges, making it clear that more focused, tailored educational programs are urgently needed.
Overcrowded Classrooms
-
Public schools in El Salvador often suffer from overcrowding due to insufficient resources and infrastructure. It’s not uncommon for classrooms to be filled beyond capacity, with a single teacher responsible for managing large groups of students. This overcrowding makes it difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students, negatively impacting the quality of education.
Underfunded Education System
-
The public education system in El Salvador is severely underfunded. Schools often lack basic supplies such as textbooks, desks, and educational materials. In many cases, students attend classes in dilapidated buildings that are not conducive to learning. This lack of resources limits students' ability to thrive academically and leaves teachers without the tools they need to provide an effective education.
Barriers to Continued Learning:
-
Many children lack access to basic resources such as transportation, meals, and educational materials, which prevent them from fully engaging in their education. Without proper support, many drop out or are unable to continue their studies. Our school will break down these barriers by providing scholarships and support systems that ensure students can focus on learning.
A Call to Transform Lives, Not Just Give
The "1000 for $100" campaign is more than a financial appeal; it is a call to be part of something larger than ourselves—a movement to transform lives. We are inviting:
Churches
-
Churches to come together as a congregation to empower the next generation of servant leaders who will carry the love of Jesus into their communities.
Businesses
-
Businesses to invest not just in corporate responsibility but in the long-term transformation of a community, nurturing the potential of children who will become future leaders and difference-makers.
Entrepreneurs
-
Entrepreneurs to use their resources and passion for change to uplift children often left behind, giving them a chance to grow and thrive in a loving and supportive environment.
Individuals
-
Individuals to make a personal commitment to be the hands and feet of change in these children's lives. Your $100 monthly contribution is not just a donation—it's a partnership in offering hope, love, and opportunities to those who need it most.
Each individual partner becomes a part of our mission to make disciples and form servant leaders who will transform their communities. By becoming a partner, you are more than a donor; you are a catalyst for transformation, walking alongside children as they grow academically and spiritually, and helping the most vulnerable receive not only sustenance but also a sense of dignity and hope.
Nutrition Program: Nourishing the Most Vulnerable
At the heart of our work is the commitment to serve those most vulnerable—the elderly, who are often forgotten, even by their own families. The GIVE Foundation’s nutrition program ensures that they are not left behind, providing consistent access to meals and adding dignity to their lives. Our vision is to build a community where every individual, regardless of age or circumstance, is cared for and valued. This program not only brings food to the tables of those who need it most but also strengthens the bond between our students and their communities, as they actively serve and support these families.
Through this campaign, we aim to expand our reach, ensuring that we can continue to provide food security, uplift the forgotten, and bring hope to those who need it most. Each $100 partnership directly supports this essential mission of bringing sustenance and care to those who are often overlooked.
Impact
Our existing programs already show remarkable results. With 70 students currently engaged in our early childhood literacy program, we aim to grow to 95+ next year, adding 25 students annually. The success of the Reading program is evidence that, with just one hour of daily engagement, these children are reading by the end of kindergarten—a feat not common in El Salvador. Imagine the transformative impact when we can dedicate a full school day to these students’ development!
By supporting the "1000 for $100" campaign, partners are not just donors—they are builders of a brighter future. They are ensuring that we can:
-
Expand our reach to serve more children with comprehensive literacy, ESL, and math programs.
-
Build the infrastructure for a private Christian school that will be a lighthouse for educational and spiritual growth.
-
Create a ripple effect that touches families, communities, and future generations through the lives of each student impacted.
Financial Objective
Our financial target for 2025 is $150,000 in operational funds, a crucial step to stabilize our programs, fulfill our educational initiatives, and further develop "The House," our community center for learning, growth, and connection.
We invite you to be part of this journey. By becoming one of the "1000 for $100" partners, you are helping us shape the hearts and minds of future leaders—empowering them to live, serve, and love as Jesus did. Together, we can offer a path of hope and transformation to children who need it most.
