TAKE ACTION
While Ambition Prep will operate primarily on public funding, the success of Ambition Prep particularly in our start-up and founding years depends heavily on the backing of committed, passionate donors. Individuals who believe that every child can learn at a high level when given a rigorous curriculum, character education and the supports to excel.
Even with per-pupil funding from state and federal sources, there is a shortfall between this revenue stream and the cost to educate an Ambition Prep student, specifically relating to additional technology needs, enrichment opportunities, and general start-up operational costs.
Note: Ambition Preparatory Charter School, Inc. is an exempt organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. For your reference, our EIN is 82-3875659.
