OUR SCHOOL CHARITIES
How the 2 Fundraising 501(c)(3) Organizations work together to support the CdM students and improve and enhance the quality of CdM in the area of academics, arts, music, athletics, technology, college preparation and capital improvements:
Both organizations collaborate with the school administration and each other to meet the needs of the school. A universal request form is submitted to administration for consideration. One or more of the organizations are then identified to address the specific request/need presented and then managed accordingly.
CDM PTA
The PTA welcomes the membership and participation of all CdM parents, teachers, and students. It holds monthly meetings featuring reports by both High School and Middle School principals as well as monthly speakers who address specific topics of interest. The PTA’s only fundraiser is a Fall Home Tour which raises over $200,000 a year. With this money, the PTA organizes and funds programs to enhance the day-to-day lives of CdM students and teachers.
CDM FOUNDATION
The Foundation strives to raise significant capital (between $600,000 – $900,000 per year) to help bridge the gap between the increasing cost of education and the insufficient funds from state and local government. The foundation annually funds supplemental staff, academic needs, technology, infrastructure improvements, college preparatory advisement, and counseling services. The Foundation has invested significant capital into improving the infrastructure of the school to provide an updated environment conducive for learning.
