$6,955

raised by 73 people

$15,000 goal

The Opening Word is excited to announce it is participating in Giving Tuesday – a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. Giving Tuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and it has raised over $1 billion for charities worldwide since its inception eight years ago.

We have set a very ambitious goal of raising $15,000 between today and Giving Tuesday, December 1.  That’s only five days!

The money raised will go toward supporting the Opening Word Citizenship Preparation Program. Fifteen students are currently enrolled in the program. They participate in an average of 40-50 hours of Citizenship Prep in addition to attending ESL classes and developing skills needed to take the portion of the citizenship test that is administered on a tablet.
