Ways to Support

Groves Learning Organization is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit educational institution (tax ID number: 41-0979871) that relies on philanthropic support to continue to transform lives through education.

Financial Support

There are many ways to make a tax-deductible donation. We accept cash, check, or credit card. Your gift will go further if made via check or cash because credit card companies deduct fees from all transactions. If you wish to cover the cost of the credit card fees, please add the amount of the processing fee (3%) to the total gift.

A gift of appreciated stock or real estate you have owned for more than one year will generate a tax deduction for you based upon fair market value without any capital gains tax liability. Consult your tax professional for the specific details on the deductibility of your gift.

If you wish to make a gift of appreciated stock or securities, please share the following information below with your broker. Please be aware that our legal name is Groves Academy.

Support the Ben Ruedisili Legacy Fund

Ben Ruedisili

Ben was a student who fully embodied the mission of Groves Learning Organization. He was a friend to anyone who knew him. The Ben Ruedisili Legacy Fund was established to honor Ben’s memory and make a difference in the lives of other students. Ben’s family has requested that all memorial gifts be directed to the Groves Academy Scholarship Fund.

“The last year and a half at Groves Academy gave us back our son — his spark, confidence, swag, and joy.”
-Ben’s Mom

A donation in any amount can help make a difference in the life of a student who is struggling to learn. Will you help another student regain their spark by making a donation in honor of Ben? Please complete the form below to make a donation.

Give to the Annual Fund

Making a donation to the Groves Academy Annual Fund makes an immediate impact on our students, staff, families, and the broader community.

Why support the Groves Learning Organization Annual Fund?

The annual fund is an important part of our advancement program. Contributions to the annual fund are essential to the day-to-day operations of Groves Academy and are 100% tax-deductible for the donor. These funds help fill the gap in the operating budget that is not covered by tuition and other fees. They help to pay for everything that facilitates the teaching in the classrooms, like instructional materials and equipment, and facilities and utilities.

Why is donating to the Annual Fund important?

GLO’s financial strength is dependent upon the participation of all donors. Your participation in the Annual Fund generates enthusiasm. It encourages others to join you in supporting GLO, and it is a key indicator to foundation and corporate donors that we have consistent support from those we serve, both past and present.
