Each year, friends, families and alumni show their support for Jowonio through the Annual Appeal. These gifts are generally unrestricted, meaning they can be used to directly assist the school wherever the need is greatest. Over the past several years, funds from the Appeal Appeal have been used to support staff salaries, open new classrooms, contribute to our outdoor facilities, repair the elevator, install a new roof, and support enrichment programs for children ndn families. Like most non-profit organizations, Jowonio depends on the Annual Appeal to maintain and improve its service and programs.

Our giving levels are:

Benefactor's Circle - $10,000 and up
Founder's Circle - $5,000 - $9,999
Director's Circle - $2,500 - $4,999
