About The Compass Fund

Annual Fall Fundraiser Compass Center Foundation

Our Annual Fall Fundraiser is underway!

We aim to raise $5,000 between November 18th – December 1st to support Compass Academy operations and further our mission to support families on their journey towards physical and spiritual wellbeing.

All donations are tax-deductible and will go towards supporting Compass Academy’s operating expenses as we grow towards the need for our first full-time educator. This is a very exciting time for us, as this step will provide a new level of organization and cohesiveness to our childhood education offerings.

At each of our past fundraisers, dozens of small donations added up to help us reach our goals. If you have $5 – $100 to give, you can help us met our goal!

You can make donations by mail (The Compass Center Foundation, 5455 Jones Mill Rd., Crozet, VA 22932), or Venmo (@compasscenterlearning 4 digits: 0251)

Please email us for a donation receipt: thecompassctr@gmail.com.

The Compass Center Foundation is working towards building a $100,000 fund to support and sustain the evolution of our vision for a new kind of childhood education.

Funds will continuously support start-up, operational and marketing costs to help us grow to a sustainable revenue flow.

We are also raising funds to go towards our long term vision of land ownership for our biodynamic farm and garden campus.

We are holding the vision to build a scholarship fund to provide wider access to our childhood education programs.
