Exciting news!
We are thrilled to announced that the West Philly Coalition for Neighborhood Schools <http://westphillyschools.org/> is now a federally-recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization. This means we can now apply for a range of grants only available to registered non-profits AND accept tax-deductible donations<http://westphillyschools.org/?page_id=64> . Donations help our organization ensure that our neighborhood schools have the supplies they need, a full range of arts and music instruction, more afterschool enrichment programs, and play areas that encourage activity while being environmentally friendly. We can now also submit grant applications to foundations in support of these initiatives. We would like to deeply thank everyone whose generous donations allowed us to submit the filing fees for non-profit status. Thank you so much for your support of neighborhood schools! (If you contributed to our May fundraiser for the 501(c)3 application fees by check, you will be receiving a donation receipt letter in the coming days.) Please stay tuned for news of our priorities for the upcoming school year! - The WPCNS <http://westphillyschools.org/> Board Amara Rockar, President Erin McLeary, Vice President Elizabeth Menasion, Secretary Amy D’Antonio, Treasurer Molly McGlone, At-Large Board Member -- I foster with City Kitties: Rocco<http://citykitties.org/adopt/adoption-listings/?page=pet&id=4152313&PHPSESSID=c74b70a505f65d618c559709dff12a21> and Red<http://citykitties.org/adopt/adoption-listings/?page=pet&id=4811880>
