| How your gifts help kids and
programs
Years of character building - Since its founding in 1922 for
Wavus and 1926 for Kieve, these institutions have offered a unmatched
programs for character building for kids from all around the
world.
Access and diversity – KieveWavus provides some level
of financial assistance to at least 50 percent of its Leadership
School students. We are proud of this tradition of offering an education
to a diverse population – geographically, economically and
socially.
Underwriting education for all - Tuition typically covers
only 50 percent of the operating costs for Kieve’s Leadership
School (formerly LDI). The balance comes mainly from Annual Fund
gifts and from camper tuition. Annually, we subsidize the Leadership
School's budget by over $750,000 to help kids from Maine and beyond.
Historic campuses - Kieve has an 81 year history - and aging
buildings are part of this legacy. Through the Forever Kieve
Campaign, we are now rebuilding the campus so we will be able to
continue to serve the needs of thousands of kids from Maine and
beyond for years to come. We are also investing significant dollars
to re-build the Wavus campus.
Your generous tax-deductible gift can help Kieve provide scholarships
for kids in our Leadership School, Boys & Girls programming.
In addition, your gift can help boys or girls attend our summer
camps. We may also use your gift to help underwrite Kieve's Family
Camp for surviving families from the tragic events of 9/11.
Here are a few examples of how your gift can help:
- A gift of $10,000 will provide a week-long Leadership School
program for one 7th grade class.
- A gift $4,300 could provide a wilderness trip or attend Wavus
Camp for Girls for a young women.
- A gift of $4,300 could help provide a scholarship for a boy
from Maine to attend our Summer Camp for Boys.
- A $2k gift could provide a family from New York or Washington
a week at our 9/11 Family Camp
