You can make a difference by giving to the Expanding Opportunities Campaign
Together, we must raise funds for ADA and life safety upgrades to the almost 90 year-old school building,
replace kitchen equipment and windows to make the building energy efficient, provide computers
and other technology for students, and cosmetic upgrades to create an inspiring learning environment
for the children. By investing in capital improvements in the building, PHSSA is also preserving a historic
building. We have created Patrick Henry Charter LLC, a financial mechanism to allow us to use State Historic
Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The school building was certified as significant in May 2010 and the second
phase of the application has been approved. This new financial mechanism, as well as the energy savings produced by
the renovation, can be used by RPS for other schools to lower their total cost per year to educate each child.
Our overall fundraising goal for the next three years is $1.45 million. The renovation cost estimates have
helped us set our campaign fundraising goals. Like any other school, we are continuously raising money for
school improvements so that we can provide the best environment and education possible for the children in
our school.
Ways to Give
Income taxes and estate taxes can be greatly reduced by choosing the most advantageous type of property, timing, and method of giving to Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts. Such tax savings may enable individuals to make larger gifts than ordinarily thought possible. The most practical giving plan depends upon a person's particular interest and circumstances and should be determined in consultation with a Campaign Committee representative as well as with a professional tax advisor. Following is a list of some of the methods most widely employed.
- Gifts of Cash — immediate donation and/or pledge over a 3-5 year period of time. Donations can be mailed to
The Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts

Naming Opportunities
Those who make significant contributions in support of Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts are rewarded in perpetuity through the lives of the children and families their giving touches. However, the School wishes to recognize such gifts in a more visible way. Therefore, appropriate plaques or other signage will be placed denoting those who make gifts to name a particular unit within the building. These naming opportunities range from $250,000 for the auditorium
to $10,000 to name a classroom.
