​Give the gift of continuing education to promising students in the mountain area who have financial need.

We invite you to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Bootstraps with us by joining the Cap and Gown Club. Our goal is to increase the number of monthly supporters to 75 and have an even more substantial impact on the students we serve.

Your monthly gift will help more graduating high school students in our community to have the chance to realize their dreams of having a positive impact on the world and giving back to the community. Your monthly gift of:

$25 can provide an emergency loan to a college student facing a financial crisis that could force them to drop out in their last semester. Research shows that $300 can make the difference as to whether or not a student graduates.
$50 can pay for textbooks for a semester. The high cost of textbooks is prohibitive for some students; for example, the MSRP of Campbell Biology, 11th Edition is $219.
$75 will allow a student to work six hours less per week during the school year, time that can be spent on their studies.
