Donate to the Coalition

Thank you for your contribution to the Kansas Coalition for School Readiness!

By making a contribution you're helping us to increase the number of children who have access to voluntary, high-quality early learning programs.

The long term benefits of your donation for Kansas will be significant. Expanding access to voluntary, high-quality early learning programs is the number one way to improve the K-12 system. It also saves the state money. For every dollar the state invests in early childhood education, it saves seven.

In short, your contribution to the Kansas Coalition for School Readiness is a contribution towards making Kansas the best state in the country in which to raise a child.

Our coalition partner, Kansas Action for Children, is collecting donations on our behalf. When they receive your contribution it will immediately be earmarked for the Kansas Coalition for School Readiness.

What's more, any contribution you make is completely tax deductible.

Thank you again in advance!
