Ready Set School needs to raise $44,000 between February and May 2019. These funds will be used to provide vouchers for school supplies and clothing for the 2019-2020 school year.
For the second year in a row, the Winona Community Foundation has given Ready Set School a $20,000 matching grant to help with the fundraising efforts. In 2018, this grant helped bump up vouchers from $55 per student to $75 per student. For 2018-2019, over 600 students were given vouchers.
If you are an individual or business that wants to help Ready Set School reach it’s goal, please donate on the DONATE page or contact the Director at readysetschool@gmail.com.
