Most schools have between $1000 and $1500 to grant. How could your organization use a grant of this size? *

Our kamp takes in over 300 kids with special needs and we do not rely on federal grants but appreciately take generous donations for scholarships for kampers who could not afford it, food that would be served during the week, just the overall operations of KAMPDOVETAIL.
The actual hard cost of food, services, materials, and supplies for our week long camp is approximately $200 per camper. This does not include any labor costs since everyone involved volunteers their time. Our low $50 registration fee is the result of our year long fundraising efforts. These fundraising efforts allow us to subsidize attending KAMP. We avoid passing the actual cost on to the campers or their families. Your gift of "adoption" ($200) allows us to accept an additional camper from our waiting list that normally would not have been able to attend KAMP.

Does your organization have volunteer opportunities available for high school students?
