FAQs

Why do we need CFEP?

  • CFEP is essential for fully funding Eagle Peak’s Montessori programs
  • State monies are not enough to cover Eagle Peak’s operating expenses
  • Charter schools receive significantly less state and federal funding than traditional public schools
  • Fundraising helps maintain enrichment classes (art, PE, music, Environmental Education)
  • Fundraising keeps low teacher:student ratio
  • Your money goes directly to the school
    • All funds raised by CFEP belong 100%  to Eagle Peak Montessori School and stand apart from state monies allocated for our charter.
    • Saves up to 5% of funds raised/donated by avoiding district accounting services
  • All funds are managed and processed by CFEP Board members (EPMS parent volunteers)

What Does CFEP Do?

  • Manages Annual Giving Campaign to raise much-needed funds for the school
  • Oversees exciting events to raise funds
    • Dine and Donate Community Dinners
    • Annual Auction
    • Golden Ticket Raffle
  • Manage bank accounts to process monies received and expenses due
  • Applies for grants to secure funding from outside sources…a few successes in recent month

Why donate to CFEP?

  • 100% of money donated goes to support EPMS
  • Without adequate donations, we risk losing enrichment programs such as Art, PE, Music and Environmental Education or having to increase number of students per teacher
  • Fundraising activities, including Annual Giving, help to close our budget deficit each year
  • Money received at the start of school year helps manage cash flow and allows the school to make crucial budget decisions
  • Fundraising allows us to actively plan for our growth and sustainability
  • CFEP is a non-profit public benefit corporation exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax ID 87-0743084. All donations are tax deductible.
