SCHOOL-WIDE

THANK YOU!

The CVCA community of generosity understands joyful giving. Not only did your giving meet the Giving Tuesday match of $100,000, but your generosity overflowed beyond the match. The total raised currently exceeds $230,000, and gifts are still flowing in! We would love for you to participate in making an impact. Visit cvcaroyals.org/give-now.  Every family. Every gift. Every life changed.

MATCHING GIFT OPPORTUNITY: If your employer offers a corporate matching gift program for employees, you can possibly double your Giving Tuesday or year-end gift to CVCA. Ask your company’s HR department for information or contact Jennifer Meybaum in the Development Office at jmeybaum@cvcaroyals.org.

That’s right – up to $1,500 – and it costs you absolutely nothing! How? By donating to CVCA through the OCEN Scholarship Granting Organization. The amount you donate REDUCES your state tax liability – dollar for dollar.
