CapCity Kids has enabled us to fulfill our dream of educating every child who walks through these doors. With their support, we have been able to raise the achievement level of the students. Students and their families gain hope when school becomes a successful experience. In turn, the likelihood increases that these young people will stay in school-and break the cycle of homelessness.
-Amy Kinkade, Principal, Elementary School
"This school year, I've made unbelievable strides both as a student and as a teen mom of a 6-month old little girl."
Each day in Austin, thousands of families wake up to face another day of homelessness. Among them, more than 4,000 children get dressed, pick up a backpack or a sack of books and walk into an Austin school.
CapCityKids (The Capital City Fund for Education), a non-profit charity, was created to provide the resources to support students who are in disadvantaged situations. By creating and funding educational programs and resources, CapCityKids provides opportunities for these students to realize their potential and achieve success in school and in life.
CapCityKids (CCK) ensures that 100% of your donations go directly to providing assistance for the students. CapCityKids has no salaried staff or administrative overhead because we work in concert with the Austin Independent School District which bears all of the administrative costs for our programs.
With a donation as little as $250 you can make a difference in a student's life. For example, your money will directly help children by:
- $25 buys a backpack with supplies
- $35 buys field trips for a semester
- $50 buys a bus pass
- $250 sponsors one week of tutoring for students
- $5,000 sponsors a semester of tutoring for students
When making a difference is so easy, consider helping us.
