A Bilingual Preschool Experience
Fundraising
Why is fundraising important to All ‘Bout Children?
All ‘Bout Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on donations in order to enhance the educational experience provided to its students. While tuition rates are set to offset the basic costs of operating ABC, fundraising activities enable us to provide experiences that make ABC unique. There is no requirement that families participate in fundraising activities, but any contribution can help create the best possible experience for our students!
​
Can United Way contributions be directed toward ABC?
Yes! United Way campaigns will be underway at many companies in the coming weeks. Please note that United Way contributions can be directed toward All ‘Bout Children Preschool!
​
What about an employer match?
As a 501(c)(3) organization providing educational services, All ‘Bout Children is often eligible for employer matching programs. Due to its small size, ABC may not necessarily appear in drop-down listings for employer match programs. However, you may be able to manually add ABC to the listing of eligible organizations. When setting up All ‘Bout Children as an eligible organization, please use Tax ID #27-4193753.
​
How can families contribute?
We have many different ways throughout the year for families to donate, including (but not limited to) fall catalog fundraiser, rings around the classroom, Scholastic orders and book fairs, local restaurant match nights, IGive.com, United Way and monetary donations (with employer matches).
Where are fundraising proceeds used?
Money raised through fundraising initiatives go directly back to the children. We typically purchase new classroom materials, educational toys, equipment for outdoor classrooms, art supplies, and books.
What is a 501(c)(3)?
A 501(c)(3) is a nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt. To qualify, it must be organized for charitable purposes, including education, and none of its earnings can benefit individuals.
​
The main advantages of having 501(c)(3) status are tax exemption on profits, easier access to grants (both public and private), and the ability to receive tax-deductible donations, which encourages contributions by allowing donors to deduct them from their taxable income.
