Funding

Operation Restoration has recently entered its ninth year of operation without any major sources of funding. The organization’s support primarily comes from a mix of school fees, grants, and contributions from individuals and faith-based organizations. The Environmental Foundation of Jamaica (EFJ) also provided a subsidy for the payment of salaries to the Principal and Vice-Principal in its three-year grant.

However, to ensure its sustainability, new sources of funding are being sought. These sources include corporate sponsorship to assist by providing donations of cash for the continued running of the school. This year, school fees were raised to J$5,000 annually but even at this minimal charge more than 40 percent who attend are unable to pay, and most make payments on such a piecemeal basis that very little is realized.
