Is my gift important?
We highly value each and every donation, large and small!  And it is truly the cumulative effect of many donations that enable us to continue the improvements to our school system.

The board is committed to establishing an endowment of at least $1 million.  This will ensure the Foundation's sustained ability to provide benefits for students of the CLK Schools.  In addition to your gift, please consider including the CLK Foundation in your estate planning.
