Our Philanthropic Base

At Explorations Academy, we depend upon our donors, whose gifts comprise a substantial portion of our annual revenue. These individuals, families and businesses support our work with young people with gifts ranging from under $10 to those exceeding $10,000. We also receive in-kind gifts of furniture, computers, and other supplies.  Please take a moment to look at our Donations Wish List.  Every single donor is important and every one is deeply appreciated.

Because we are a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization, all gifts to Explorations Academy and our component programs are deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

These are the most common gifts we receive and are the simplest  way to support our work with young people.

We accept many kinds of furniture, equipment, and supplies when they match the needs of our programs.

Gifts of Stock and other Appreciated Assets

We can often maximize the tax advantage to our donors by accepting appreciated assets as gifts.

Pledges

Gifts can be made incrementally at a certain pledge amount per month or year.

Bequests and other Planned Gifts

Longer-range gifts of many types can be arranged; these are customized to meet the donor’s needs.
