Give To Compass - The Compass Center Foundation

About The Compass Fund

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.
