#SaveAIMHigh
There are many ways to meaningfully support AIM High and sustain the program. Here are a few ideas and some AIM High facts to get you started. We will continue to update this page.
Donate your Connections
I am an optimist. I believe:
- There is an angel donor that one of you knows who also cares about improving college graduation rates.
- There are CEOs of corporations and privately-held companies who would make significant investments in AIM High, if only they knew we existed.
- There are churches and synagogue and mosques that share our values and are waiting for one of us to approach them.
- Someone we know can get us a meeting with Mayor Emanuel to ask him to include AIM High in his $38M funding for youth mentoring programs
- Someone can persuade their fraternity or sorority to adopt AIM High as their charity.
Can any of your connections help us? Let Marci know and she can work with you. Here are some persuasive talking points.
