An Invitation to Give

Dear Friends and Families of Redwood,

This has been a defining year and you have been part of God’s unmistakable work here.
I often say that my role as Executive Director is simple: listen closely to God’s story for Redwood, share it, and then get out of the way. I want a front-row seat to what He is building through this community. And truly we are watching Him write something remarkable.

Just look at what He has already done through your prayers, your support, and your generosity:
• A 72% increase in full-time students
• A fully developed Seeds (Kindergarten) curriculum written uniquely for Redwood
• Three public Enrichment Days serving 53 families
• Two new full-time Mentors and expanded operational support

We don’t invite giving because we are in crisis. We invite it because the mission is moving and God is opening doors we want to walk through faithfully.

As we look towards our plan, our next milestone is to raise $50,000 by December 31, 2025. We are already halfway there, having received $25,000 by God’s provision and your generosity. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us to help us finish the year strong?

Your giving directly impacts our mission to provide a Christ-centered, relational education for every student and support to every home-educator. With your help, we can continue to:
 
  • Equip Mentors with CORE training through the Charlotte Mason Institute, Nature Journaling and Master Gardening courses deepening their craft and strengthening classroom instruction.
  • Expand the outdoor spaces to create imaginative play spaces for deeper connection with God’s creation.
  • Complete the Accreditation journey to ensure families that Redwood is rooted in a proven, time-tested philosophy of education and is meeting the highest standards of excellence and faithfulness for their children.
  • Build living libraries in each classroom so every student can hold the books that shape their minds and hearts.
  • Expands the ways families can partner with Redwood. Whether through added learning opportunities, supportive resources, or new programming so that more parents and students can flourish within their goals of home education.  

As we move toward year-end, would you pray and ask the Lord how He might have you join this next chapter?  A gift of $100, $500, $1,000, or more helps us build our people so they can shepherd our students and families with excellence.

May God continue to write His story for Redwood, and may we have the humility and courage to follow Him step by step.

With gratitude and great hope,
Elizabeth Werkheiser
