Your donation makes a big difference in the lives of the foster and low-income students we serve. Your tax-deductible donation to Educating Students Together (EST) is an investment in underserved students’ education, which will generate a positive social impact on our community for generations to come. There are several ways you can make an impact.
"Life’s most persistent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
Ways to Give
Still I Rise Monthly Giving Circle
Every year, we can help roughly 50 low-income youth and 20 foster youth, out of over 250 deserving applicants, to pursue and achieve their college dream. But with your donation, we can grow and expand our program. That’s why we created the “Still I Rise” Monthly Giving Circle. In this monthly giving plan, we ask that you select a giving level ($500, $250, $100, $75, $50, or $25) that will be deducted each month from your account. Just think—a little over $1 daily to positively change a young person’s life.
You can rest assured knowing you are investing in the future of youth in foster care or low-income every month. The work of EST changes students’ lives. We’re excited to see how much more impact we’ll have with more significant, sustained support. Please start today with a monthly gift that will enable EST to deepen our impact by providing the college planning support our students need. Your monthly gift will help seed a new generation of scholars and strengthen the EST family.
