End of Year Donations 2015!
Ciao!
Please help us continue our Italian heritage programming on into 2016, by making a tax deductible donation to our 501 c 3 (#31-181-0184) by the end of the year.
We are so blessed to have received another small grant from the Italian Consulate-and it is wonderful that they continue to support our programming. But we need your help too.
Our non-profit has been going strong since 2001-and now we have grown to include a six year old, very successful, Italian-English dual language pre-school and kindergarten located in San Jose, California.
And we need your support.
Please make donations of any amount to our cause. We are in need of the support from our community in order to develop, and of course maintain, our present school.
Aside from any monetary donations, we would love to be offered a "donated" space, funds for purchase, or even a building that could be leased to us at very low cost.......Any and all ideas are welcome! We would be so grateful for any help.
This is an exciting time for us. Our school is important to the Italian-American community and to the community as a whole.
However, at this point, we "lose" our children to elementary schools after they "outgrow" kindergarten here, and they lose their wonderful opportunity to further their Italian culture and heritage education. What they have learned in pre-school and kindergarten is an incredible beginning, but we need to carry this education past kndergarten- and on into elementary school.
It is up to us to make sure that we provide opportunities for Italian language and heritage education, and create a place where we will provide an incredible, exciting, dual language, pre-k-5th grade environment. That's the dream.
Please call us at [phone redacted] or visit us on Facebook at Little Italy Kids San Jose, or our website atwww.LittleItalyKids.org.
We have the "people power". Now, we just need the funding!
It really does "take a village to raise a child."
Let's make it an Italian village.
Please donate. It only takes a second.
THANK YOU and GRAZIE!
