Be a Friend of the Library!
$30 to Commemorate 30 Years
The library is stewarded by the National Charter Schools Institute—people who are passionate about the charter schools movement and want to preserve its history for future and current generations.
The Library is making a difference. It’s collection is being used to defend the public nature of charter schools in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, to celebrate anniversaries and milestones—and everything in-between.
The library is free for everyone to use, but it’s not free to operate. Recording oral histories, digitizing records, photographing events, and making everything available online takes resources.
Chip-In to Help Us Capture History!
Will you contribute at least $30 to commemorate 30 years of chartering? Your friendship of the library will help grow its collection and make it available to anyone who cares about our shared history.
And during the National Charter Schools Conference, your donation goes even farther. The first $30,000 in contributions will be matched by an anonymous donor, making this the best time to support the library.
Together, we’re making history for kids. Now, let’s preserve it for the future. Join us and make a contribution today.
Sharing the Founders Library with your friends is also a great way to contribute to the growth of this continued movement and keep history alive!
