KIPP Delta is a free, open-enrollment public charter school. However, we do not receive state funding for our facilities or many other programs and resources that are critical to our students' success. Therefore, we rely on the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations to fund our capital building projects, extended school schedule, and unique enrichment opportunities. We greatly appreciate your support!

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

Each year, KIPP Delta must raise approximately $700 per student to fund everything from music and art programs to "field lessons" that students can earn to visit college campuses and historical attractions in places like Washington, D.C., Utah National Parks, New York City, and the Southern Civil Rights History Tour. These funds also pay for our extended school schedule (teacher salaries, materials, Saturday School lunch, and operating costs) and help us use the best technology to improve data collection and analysis and drive student improvement.

FACILITY CONSTRUCTION

As a public charter school, KIPP Delta does not receive state funding for our facilities. Therefore, we depend on private donations to provide safe places for our students to learn and play.

Multi-purpose Gymnasium - Helena
In 2009, KIPP completed major construction of a multi-purpose gymnasium to house our growing competitive sports programs and school functions, such as graduation and science fairs. The McCloskey family and Norac, Inc., generously contributed a lead gift of $1 million to fund the gymnasium, and local donors Bettye and Dick Hendrix and the Helena Health Foundation have made significant gifts as well. Donations are still needed to successfully conclude this campaign!

High School Facility - Helena
KIPP Delta Collegiate High School is currently housed in a modular campus funded by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation.  As the school grows to prepare more students for college, we will soon outgrow the modular buildings. KIPP Delta is currently seeking lead donors in our campaign to build a permanent high school for Delta Collegiate that will provide adequate lecture and lab space for our students in their rigorous academic pursuits.

Middle School Facility - Blytheville
In 2010, KIPP Delta will open its first campus outside of Helena, in Blytheville, Arkansas. We will begin with a 5th grade class and then add additional grades each year. We have critical short-term and long-term facilities needs for our KIPPsters in Blytheville and need our help to provide the best possible learning environment for these students.
