Professional Support
The majority of funding we receive helps us procure the services of a governmental affairs professional who specializes in education policy. This professional works directly with our team, as well as with legislators, policy makers, and their teams. Their work is an essential part of our ability to achieve our goals: passing legislation, changing policy, building awareness, and developing productive relationships with people and organizations who share our concerns and goals. A portion of our funding also supports professional communications and website management. Maintaining this capacity strengthens our ability to build awareness, sustain engagement, and advance our advocacy goals.
organization essentials
Other costs are modest and simply the necessary costs that organizations require and include things like printing, stamps, communications tools (like this website), and so on.
All costs paid for by the Coalition are considered, voted on, and approved by our Board of Directors according to the guidelines defined in our Bylaws.
Please Note
The Washington Coalition for Gifted Education is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. Working to impact legislative and policy change is a substantial part of our purpose and activity. As a result, financial support of our organization is vital to our efforts, but is not tax deductible.
