Reply #108: where does the money go?

[spedtr90]

"Much of Teach for America's funding comes from private donors. In late January, the nonprofit announced that it had created a permanent endowment fund of $100 million that would generate about 2 percent of its annual operating budget nationwide."

Districts pay the salary and benefits of TFA teachers; colleges reduce grad school costs, AmeriCorps pays some college expenses, students pay the rest - and $100 million is TWO PERCENT of operating costs??
Oh yeah, and they recently got $50 million from the fed gov.

When is the last time a corporation donated anything to a public school? Paid for a library for a school without one?
