Dear Community Partner, Apr 4, 2023

I am writing to you on behalf of the Parent Teacher Student Group at The Founders Academy Public Charter School in Manchester, NH. Our purpose is to positively impact our school by providing support through volunteerism and fundraising for student and staff needs, leadership opportunities for our middle and high school students, and family and community engagement opportunities. As a state public charter school, we serve students from all over New Hampshire.

Did you know that the annual cost to educate a student in New Hampshire is about $18,700, yet public charter schools only receive approximately  $7,270 in funding from federal, state, and local governments?  

We are seeking your help through donation for a Gift Raffle on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at our Summer Send-Off event. This is an annual event and this year’s focus is on raising funds to update our Computer Lab and other technology needs. 

We would like to extend a special invitation to you to consider making a donation to our school in support of this event. We are seeking goods and services to be used for our Gift Raffle. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated and will help us continue to provide a high quality education for our students. Your business name will be listed as a strong supporter of our community. This will allow all of our attendees to support you too!

As a 501(c)(3) public charity, all donations are tax deductible. Our tax ID is 46-3442950. In order for your donation to be included in our event, we must receive it by May 1, 2023. Please mail or deliver to The Founders Academy Public Charter School, Attn: Summer Send Off, 5 Perimeter Rd, Manchester, NH 03103.

We are deeply grateful for your support. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our school, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Sincerely,

Jacqueline Lianos
Parent, Class of 2025 and 2030
