Support our Work

Made Possible By

The Can We? Project is powered by the generosity of individual donors, grant funding and corporate sponsors.

We are grateful to be based at Waynflete School, which provides a home for our work and meaningful in-kind support. At the same time, all our programming is funded independently—every workshop, partnership, and student experience is made possible through philanthropic support. Each sponsorship helps bring programming to additional partner schools, train additional educators, refine our programs, and increase our reach and impact year over year.

Where Your Gift Goes

The Can We? Project is seeking general operating support to sustain and grow our core programming.

This includes the staff capacity required to facilitate retreats, deliver educator professional development, maintain partner school relationships, develop new models, and ensure quality as our network expands.

Because our model relies on relationship-based partnership, skilled facilitation, and ongoing coaching for educators and student leaders, general operating support directly protects program quality and efficacy. Unrestricted support allows us to retain trained staff, meet partner school needs across the school year, respond to scheduling and travel logistics, and scale responsibly as we add new schools.
