why ARE THESE GIFTS IMPORTANT?
The money raised through your generous gifts is used to supplement and to further the educational mission of the school.
Friends of Ogden is a not-for-profit corporation, but we have operational expenses and expenses associated with our events. Every dollar you share goes directly to school projects at Ogden or to cover our limited expenses. None of our team is paid and we all pay full price for tickets for all of our events.
HOW ARE THE FUNDING NEEDS DETERMINED?
In a collaborative effort, the Friends Board and the Principal work together to assess ongoing funding needs of Ogden. When a need is identified for which funding is not available within Ogden’s budget and the Principal has approved it, the Friends of Ogden Board will vote on making a donation to the school. If approved, the funds are released directly to the vendor providing the goods or services to Ogden. When considering donations, the Friends of Ogden’s priorities are to provide financial support that will benefit a broad group of students for an extended period of time and to make equitable donations to all three of Ogden’s campuses - East (K-4), Jenner (preK to 8) and West Campus (9-12).
