Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
UNDER NJ LAW, CHARTER SCHOOLS MAY NOT BUILD FACILITIES WITH PUBLIC FUNDS. TO EXPAND AND IMPROVE OUR HIGH SCHOOL FACILITIES, THE FRIENDS OF FOUNDATION ACADEMIES PURCHASED THE NEIGHBORING VACANT HOLY CROSS RECTORY SITE AND SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE 2018-19 SCHOOL YEAR CONSTRUCTING A NEW 10,217 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION IN THE CITY'S SOUTH WARD. THE EXISTING SCHOOL BUILDING RECEIVED A COMPLETE HVAC, ELECTRICAL, AND INTERIOR UPGRADE. THE FRIENDS OF FA PROUDLY OWNS AND MAINTAINS THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS AND LEASES IT BACK TO THE SCHOOL.
THROUGHOUT COLLEGE, THERE ARE SEVERAL CRUCIAL MOMENTS THAT CAN PUT A STUDENT AT RISK OF LEAVING SCHOOL. THE PURPOSE OF THE FRIENDS OF FOUNDATION ACADEMY KNIGHT FUND IS TO ASSIST FAC ALUMNI, CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN COLLEGE OR POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS, IN MANAGING FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS THAT CAN HINDER STUDENTS FROM ENTERING OR PERSISTING THROUGH THEIR POST-SECONDARY SCHOOLING AND CAREERS. THROUGH DONATIONS TO THE FRIENDS OF FOUNDATION ACADEMY, INC, THE KNIGHT FUND PROVIDES AWARDS, PERSISTENCE GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS TO DESERVING ALUMNI.
FUNDS RAISED BY THE FRIENDS OF FA HELP TO FILL THE STARK PUBLIC FUNDING GAP BETWEEN FA AND OUR DISTRICT COUNTERPARTS. SUPPORT FROM DONATIONS TO THE FRIENDS PROVIDES HIGH-QUALITY ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND DRIVES THE TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT, AND CELEBRATION OF OUR REMARKABLE FACULTY.
