Grace Neighborhood Nursery School has a 60 year history of providing financial assistance to over 1000 families, so that their children can attend our high-quality, play-based preschool. In order to fund our scholarship program, we hold an annual Silent and Live Auction. Our Silent Auction is now mostly online, but this year we will have a hybrid event, with a culminating evening event featuring a Live Auction, games, music and refreshments. Our donors are critical to our ability to continue the mission of providing scholarships to low-income children and giving them their best opportunity to succeed in school and life. Now more than ever, our scholarship program is vital in providing access to first-rate preschool education for families in need. Delivering high-quality early childhood education is one of the best ways to reduce our city’s opportunity gaps. This year’s donors will help ensure our students have their best and brightest futures ahead of them. 

Our goal for the year ahead is to raise $35,000 for the Fund through our annual Auction event which will be held on Saturday, April 29th, 2023. If you can donate an item or service or make a financial contribution to help us reach our goal, it would be deeply appreciated.

Our online auction bidding will begin on April 24th and end at our live auction event on Saturday, April 29th. All proceeds from our auction event will support scholarships to attend our secular, play-based preschool.  We aim to provide 20% of our students each year with full or partial scholarships to attend.
