Give Every Month Program (GEM)

As we reflect on the past year and a half, we recognize it has been unlike any other. As a community we scrambled, yet worked together to pull through to serve our community at the epicenter of a pandemic. We recognize to make an impact, no act of generosity is too small when supporting Dolores Mission School, especially as we look back on a year of financial uncertainty. Despite many of our own beloved supporters navigating through life during the pandemic, they remained committed to Dolores Mission by giving what they could every month, truly becoming a GEM in the rough! 

With our vision to help sustain our efforts to serve our community, we invite you to give what you can and join our monthly giving program. Whether it’s $5.00, simply the cost of your cup of coffee, or $50, your impact goes a long way! 

A DMS GEM (Give Every Month), hence the name, is a committed supporter of our monthly giving program. You will become more than a monthly donor, you will become a beacon of hope, care, and support network for our children and families in Boyle Heights. You first hand, will walk with us as we continue to break the cycle of violence and poverty.

Monthly contributions from caring champions like yourself will assist our fundraising efforts to provide our students and their families with life-changing educational, social, and spiritual support!

Here is why your monthly gift would make such a large impact:

• Help with general operations costs to further our impact.
• Provide students with an affordable and holistic education.
• Provide our students and families with:
  • Tuition assistance and relief
  • Art & Family Therapy/Healing
  • Digital curriculum platforms

As a DMS GEM, you can consider giving at the level of your $5.00 cup of coffee or of your choice.
