Fundraising
Fundraising is an integral part of our school community, as Seven Generations relies on additional funds to help support its innovative academic programs and future growth. There are several different categories of fundraising:
Annual volunteer-run events involve students, parents and teachers
These include: the Hike-a-thon; Re-use Sale; Book Fairs; Holiday Market; Equal Exchange Fair Trade orders; GameWright game nights at the school, community drum circles and other programs. Please contact the Fundraising Committee (See link on the "Committees" page of the website) if you would like to help organize any of these events, or if you have ideas for new activities.
Board-focused initiatives
These events or initiatives - like our annual Silent Auction - have targeted fundraising goals and are administered by the Board of Trustees. If you have suggestions for a possible initiative, contact bot@sevengen.org.
Donations and Corporate Sponsorship
These include financial or in-kind donations from corporations, organizations and interested parents, relatives or friends. Please contact Business Manager Joseph Bondi at joseph.bondi@sevengen.org for more information.
