Dear Friends,

Last week, Pennsylvania finalized its annual budget after an unprecedented delay, creating challenges for many organizations like Vanguard School that rely on the state for 40% of our funding. Thanks to the foresight of our business office and the strength of our investments, we were able to keep our programs running smoothly—without any interruptions for students or staff.

Your generosity made this possible. Thoughtful donations allowed us to plan ahead and protect the resources that keep students and families first, even when unexpected challenges arise. While we managed this situation successfully, our interest-bearing reserves were impacted, and we want to ensure we’re ready for the inevitable next challenge.

As you consider your annual gift, know that your support helps us maintain the resources that keep students and families first—always. Please join us in safeguarding the future of our programs by making your gift today.

I am proud to work for an organization that prioritizes students above all else, and with your help, we can continue to do so without compromise.

Thank you,

Tom Quinn
Executive Director, The Vanguard School & Services
