Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
 

Welcome to the Haas Foundation Annual Campaign!  Have you ever wondered what makes a non-profit organization unique - compelling - magical - different? My answer is simple. It is the people who are involved that make an organization special. The Haas Foundation is, in fact, a special organization.

Building capacity for schools to meet the needs of students is our goal.  In the schools we partner with Washington State secondary school personnel to administer micro-grants for students' immediate needs - that's right, no grant applications for students to fill out and no waiting - just caring adults in schools who have been empowered to help.  Haas grants to schools range from $200 to $5,000 and school grants from the Haas Fund average from $25 to $50 per student, depending on need.

This year's "Give Secondary Students a Chance! " campaign raises money for the Haas Challenge Matching Grants to schools, which provide up to an additional one-half of schools' yearly grant amount, based on local fundraising efforts. Separately, we encourage schools to raise awareness about the needs of students in their communities and raise funds locally that, in fact, stay local. Following this effort to raise funding for our annual appeal we will be launching a "Adopt-a-school" campaign during the month of April. Right now our focus to  raise awareness and funding for our challenge grant.
