Matching Grant: You Did It!

YOU DID IT!

YOU DID IT! Because of your generosity, we have secured the $250,000 grant from The Mary Morton Parsons Foundation! This is an extraordinary gift to the capital campaign — in fact, only the second gift of this size in Sabot’s history — and we are incredibly grateful for their belief in our school.


Thank you to each of you who gave so generously. Over the five weeks of our Fall Challenge, we received 145 gifts totaling $66,890. Your incredible support will not only fund a building, it will fund community cohesion, pride of place, and promises for our children’s future.
