Context for Fundraising Overall, we have budgeted conservatively, but we have an estimated gap of $40,000 (and, possibly, growing depending on ADA and state/federal monies) Specifically, for Special Events (auctions, celebrations, student recognition, etc.), we have only 41% ($1,630) of that budget remaining for the year. Among other things, we would like to raise money to fund more positive events for your children
