Choose Where Your Tax Dollars Go!!

Your state tax dollars can stay local to directly benefit the Walker LAUNCH CCA with no additional cost to you!!

The mission of the Walker LAUNCH CCA Partners in Education (PIE) is to create and strengthen relationships between the College and Career Academy and area organizations in an effort to enhance educational and work-based opportunities for our students. Each partnership is unique and individually planned by Walker LAUNCH CCA and the organization to meet the needs of both partners.

Students and staff benefit from this partnership by gaining expertise and real-world knowledge, through donations and visible community support. Partner businesses and organizations benefit by creating relationships with current/potential customers and employees, promoting a positive public perception of the organization, earning tax deductions, and receiving free advertising. Advertising benefits range from digital advertising to organization names listed on a Partner in Education Board (located outside the main entrance). Once a business or organization agrees to become a Partner in Education participant, a plan, goals, and level of support are discussed and mutually agreed upon.

The partnership agreement is reviewed each year to make sure the relationship is mutually beneficial. There are many levels of support for partners to choose from, with pricing beginning at $250. The levels of support are based on any combination of monetary donations, in-kind donations, and volunteer time. Monetary donations can also be made through the Peach Education Tax Credit where donors will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their state income tax. Go to gfpe.org  for more information.

To better understand the varying levels of partnership and their benefits, please see the Partner in Education contribution levels document. It is also important to note there are many ways to support Walker LAUNCH CCA beyond monetary donations. Just a few examples of partner organization activities include:

●      Providing Scholarships for Students

●      Providing Back to School Staff T-Shirts

●      Providing Back to School Staff Luncheon

●      Providing Reward Gifts to Students of The Month

●      Providing Educational Materials Specific to Your Business

●      Hosting A Teacher Appreciation Luncheon

●      Donating Gift Cards to Be Used During Employee Appreciation Weeks

●      Volunteering At Special Events

●      Participating In Career Day, Recruitment Fairs

●      Sponsoring A Student Recognition Program

We at Walker LAUNCH College & Career Academy look forward to discussing your partnership with us. Great things are happening in Walker County Schools, and we know that more partnerships like this will continue to add to the growth of our community.
