Make a Difference
We give because the arts play a valuable role in children's development.
We give because high quality child care is important to our community.
We give because every child deserves a joy-filled childhood.
We remain grateful to Featherstone Center for the Arts for the many ways they support and enrich our programming with their many contributions. We are also grateful for the ongoing support of the Martha’s Vineyard Community Foundation and the Couch Family Foundation without whom we would not be able to provide the level of educational excellence Garden Gate has become known for. And of course we continue to be grateful for all of the donations of time and resources from our families and friends at Garden Gate - you keep our program moving forward!
Garden Gate is a non-profit organization with 501(c)3 status. All donations to our program are fully tax deductible.
There are many ways you can contribute to Garden Gate and share in our vision of early childhood education. Please consider supporting us in one of the following ways:
We welcome donations from businesses and can often use "ends" and "extras". Please check with employers or local businesses to see what they may be able to donate. Charitable contributions of both cash donations and materials are fully tax deductible and we provide documentation for those who make donations to our school.
We will often publish "wish lists" when we are looking for specific materials or equipment. Please look for our wish lists in our newsletters and on our Facebook page.
Garden Gate hosts fundraisers at least once a year. These can be fun, social events that increase community connections as well as raise funds for the school. Please be a participant in our fundraisers as a donor and/or an attendee.
Our community has often made generous gifts to the school to support specific school projects or in the form of one-time or annual charitable gifts. Please consider us when you are making plans for your own charitable giving.
We are extremely grateful for the many ways our community supports us and deeply value the relationships we have within our school community and within our larger island community as well. Thank you!
