• The Plan To Get There •
September 2009, our Site Committee identified a suitable location in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and our Campaign Committee developed a plan to secure financial support for the renovations that the new facility will require, including securing a low-interest loan and launching a capital campaign that will enable us to continue to grow and provide this innovative educational model.
With the opening of this new facility, ISB’s school day program will grow to serve 150 students in Fall 2010 and meet an eventual capacity of 250 students. Enrichment and Community Programs will grow to serve 500+ families and we will continue to create additional jobs within our community, employing more than 60 people by 2012.
Phase 1: The Seed Fund
January 2009–October 2009 • $150,000
As ISB prepares for the expansion into the new Carroll Gardens facility, we will obtain funding for the initial costs such as a down payment, legal fees, and architectural plans. During Phase 1 we will talk with our closest friends and supporters about the work ahead of us and secure their support for this exciting, unique project.
Phase 2: The Campaign
November 2009–December 2010 • $350,000
We will conduct our campaign over the next 13 months to complete funding of the renovations that will enable us to move children and staff into our new site by Fall 2010. We invite all our supporters to join us in reaching our goal. Naming opportunities will be offered for specific spaces in the new building.
“We chose the International School of Brooklyn because we wanted our daughter to experience the different cultures, backgrounds and languages that make up the diversity of our city, the country and, really, our world.”
