Organization
Most Holy Trinity Academy is dedicated to transforming children and their community through innovative education at the K- 8 grade levels. Most Holy Trinity is a community-based, co-ed school applying the Nativity Miguel model to help students from low-income communities catch up to grade level, remediate key learning gaps, acquire key social and life skills, and engage in other enrichment opportunities. They fundraise to send their students to high-performing area high schools and provide ongoing support to help them succeed in high school and attain continuing education.
Partnership
Most Holy Trinity has undergone major transition in the last year. They acquired a new principal, had 100% turnover in teaching staff, and undertook major building renovations to update the school’s physical infrastructure. Their outcomes are astounding. They approached the Brown Sisters to help them breathe new life into several key fundraising strategies. They identified three separate development initiatives or committees that they felt could use the incentive of a challenge grant. The challenge grant has given them powerful opportunities to ask new donors to join the Most Holy Trinity family and invite existing donors to give at increased levels. At our last conversation they had leveraged a challenge grant to the tune of 170% and counting! Even more valuable than the dollars, they’ve engaged key partners, friends, and board members with deeper levels of commitment and buy-in.
