Cuts in Educational and Extracurricular Activities

According to the 2006 American Community Survey (ACS) there are over 17.1 Million students enrolled in US High Schools. US High Schools make up a significant part of the US economy — $178 Billion (total of operating expenditures). In addition, the ACS has recognized the current high school dropout rate at 11% of students. As the economy weakens, pressure mounts on cuts in educational programs. Correlations have shown a direct influence in the dropout rate compared to cuts in extracurricular activities within high schools across the country. It is estimated that at the end of 2009 the dropout rate for high schools students will reach over 14%, over 2.3 million students dropping out each year.

Ensure Your Share of Giving Today!

According to Giving USA 2008, the Yearbook of Philanthropy published by Giving USA Foundation™ (researched and written by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University), Americans gave an estimated $306.39 billion during 2007 to non-profit organizations.

Because many high schools have scarce resources, they find it near impossible to recapture the funding lost in educational cuts.

The Internet has fundamentally changed the way people connect and communicate with each other. It is time that high schools can tune into the online channel to reach, motivate and retain their alumni and drive results in fundraising, advocacy and other communications programs.

MyAlumniSite.com is helping High Schools focus on their mission to educate students and help fund the cuts in educational and extracurricular programs. It is this fundraising opportunity that keeps students in schools and off the streets, enhancing our communities by investing in our future through our students.
