Thayer Kids Academy plans to transfer to Non-Profit Facility

In the new year, Thayer Kids Academy plans to transfer to a non-profit facility.

Follow along with Thayer Kids Academy as we focus our efforts into transitioning to a Non-Profit facility:

• Possible Increased Funding Opportunities:

  • Grants: Non-profit status often makes organizations eligible for grants from various foundations, government agencies, and charitable organizations.

  • Tax Deductibility: Donations to non-profits are often tax-deductible for donors, which can encourage increased community support.

• Improved Sustainability: The board of directors will play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term financial stability and sustainability of the academy.

Key Considerations:

• Legal and Regulatory Requirements:
