Buy a Brick, Build a Future – $30 at a Time

Hi, I’m Michael Pensinger, Director of Development for Dominican Advance. I’m inviting you to be part of something truly life-changing—one brick at a time.

At Dominican Advance, we believe education is the foundation for a better future. That’s why we’re building more than classrooms—we’re building futures rooted in faith, dignity, and opportunity. Our Christ-centered schools and educational programs serve impoverished communities throughout the Dominican Republic and nearby islands.

We’ve already seen incredible growth. In 2023, we launched our first accredited technical education program at Alta Vista. In 2024, we added three classrooms. Now, we’re ready to complete the second floor of the building—creating space for 210 more students to pursue college credits in Tourism & Hospitality or Information Systems.

And we need your help to finish the dream.

Here’s where you come in: each symbolic brick costs just $30. Every $30 gift helps us lay the literal and figurative foundation for opportunity. You’re not just giving to a construction project—you’re investing in hope, dignity, and real pathways to employment.

Whether you buy one brick or many, your $30 contribution becomes part of a bigger story—a story of students rising above poverty and stepping into their God-given potential.

Let’s help our “Eagles” soar. Donate your brick today, and share this campaign with others. Together, we can build a future—$30 at a time.
