WHY GIVE TO CHITECH?
As a contract school, ChiTech operates like a lean start-up.
CPS, state, and federal funding allocates $10,275 per student to the school, however the true cost to educate a ChiTech student is $15,000.
It is up to us, and people like you in our community, to cover that gap. On our end, we find innovative ways to minimize our expenses while improving student achievement and opportunity.
Our annual fundraising need is nearly $500,000.
This is a big goal, and we rely heavily on our supporters to help meet the difference. Can we count on you?
