Supporters and Donors: when we formally achieve tax-exempt status, we will be soliciting for tax-deductible donations to built up our start-up capital. No amount is too small. In addition, if you or your employer wishes to prepay for tuition, a small discount will be given for enrollment at future terms, to help us also build start-up capital. Watch for details, which we will publish once our tax-exempt status has been granted.
