Thank You For Supporting Our Scholars

Friends of Breakthrough is the name of our Development and Advocacy team, working tirelessly to ensure our students have the funds their schools need to deliver an outstanding education.

On behalf of all our scholars, thank you!

Why Donate?

Our schools are public, free, and open to all students. Our students outperform student from the city and state at every level. Our schools are ranked among the best public schools in the state. And, we have received national recognition for the groundbreaking work we are doing to close and reverse the achievement gap.

We do all this with considerably less funding than most public schools. We look to individuals, community organizations, and businesses to help us close this public funding gap. This year, we need to raise $3,000 per student to deliver this top-notch education. Every year, the amount we need to raise per student goes down as we open new schools and create more economies of scale.
