SRI Fundraising Campaign is a Great Success!

Dear Colleagues,

Well… we did it!

It is with tremendous joy and great excitement that we announce that SRI has reached its fundraising goal of $60,000.  Actually we exceeded our goal by more than $1,000!

These funds will allow us to capitalize on a challenge grant from our generous donor and our success stands as proof of the “fierce-ness” of the SRI community in supporting the work we believe has the power to transform our teaching practice and our schools for students everywhere.

The money we have raised, so generously contributed by colleagues across the country and internationally, will allow us to continue to operate as an organization. With the contributions we will be able do so very much, including maintain our website, and with it, free and easy access to the protocols, (which many of you use monthly, weekly, sometimes daily), offer scholarships to our annual Winter Meeting, support our ongoing and emerging research efforts around the country, and sustain the ongoing operational work of SRI.  Our successful fundraising efforts have helped to ensure that SRI will be able to continue its existence and build our organizational strength by conducting board elections and hiring our first full time Executive Director.

We offer our heartfelt thanks to all who contributed and to all who urged colleagues to do the same. Our success is the result of collective action, a collective spirit, and a collective determination to insist that our work will go on! We look forward to our continued partnership in the New Year, and to celebrating with many of you in Atlanta just a couple of short weeks from now!

Thank you once again,
Ileana Rivera Liberatore,
on behalf of the SRI Board
