Building Our Future, The Campaign for The Diener School
We are excited to announce the launch of our capital campaign with the aim of raising a minimum of 5 million dollars.
Our capital campaign will allow us to develop a school complete with ideal indoor and outdoor learning spaces, secure lasting financial and institutional stability, and position us to cement a legacy for years to come.
By raising the banner of philanthropy and beginning a capital campaign, we aim to affirm our place as an outstanding nurturer and educator of students with learning differences.
Building Our Reserves
Supporting the higher cost of operations associated with our own school facility as well as the programmatic needs of our growing student population will require more financial resources. Building our reserves will help enable the school to address those challenges and secure a positive future.
Our Capital Campaign Objectives
The focus of our Capital Campaign is financial stability and a more secure future.
That will be accomplished in two ways:
• First, by establishing a lasting home that is appropriately engaging for students, attractive to current and prospective community members, and enhancing both our enrollment capacity and commitment to excellence.
• Second, by helping to enhance Diener’s finances, we will be able to improve programming and serve more students in need of our special capabilities prudently.
Our Capital Campaign objective is $5 million to meet these worthy needs.
Should we exceed our goal, the Campaign will enable us, in a second phase following completed renovations, to construct an additional, state-of-the-art gymnasium that is tailored to our student population and reflects our strong belief in the connection between movement, learning, and the health benefits to our students, while offering the opportunity for us to accelerate the repayment of our debt.

Partner with Us

Of course, we wouldn’t be able to support our children’s academic and social needs and inspire minds for a lifetime, without you.
We invite you to join us on this crucial journey as we work together to ensure the financial stability of our school and fulfill our mission of creating an engaging learning environment for our unique population.
