Giving

Lupine Community School has reached an incredible turning point.

Over the past year, we have moved from a dream to a thriving 7-acre reality.

We have purchased our permanent farm home, expanded our grade levels, and brought on amazing educators.

 

Now, in our next phase of expansion, we need your ongoing support.

 

​

What We’ve Accomplished Together

 

Since 2024 , your support has allowed us to:

 

Establish Our Roots: Secured and customized a 7+ acre permanent campus in Orange County, NC, officially recognized as a North Carolina Bona Fide Farm.

 

Grow Our Impact: Expanded to serve Preschool through 2nd Grade, with plans to continue growing through 2026 and beyond.

 

Build a Team: Hired 3 new specialist staff members dedicated to student-centered, nature-based education.

 

Lead in Inclusion: Continued providing a vital, inclusive environment for students with diverse learning styles through project-based curriculum.

 

Rescue & Educate: Adopted over 10 animal ambassadors—including pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys, and chickens—from a local sanctuary to teach our students compassion and humane education.

 

​

Help Us Bridge Our $125,000 Funding Gap

​

While we have raised significant funding to get the gates open, we are facing the reality of rising construction costs and the infrastructure needs of a working farm school.

 

We are seeking $125,000 in community support to help bridge the gap on our path to long-term sustainability. Every dollar of this goal goes directly into the physical environment that serves our children and animals, allowing us to:

 

Enhance Campus Infrastructure: Expand the classroom and outdoor learning spaces.

 

Improve Animal Enclosures: Build the permanent paddocks and shelters our rescue animals need to thrive as "education ambassadors."

 

Launch Community Programming: Open our doors for summer camps, community events, and hands-on farm activities for families across the Triangle.

 

Ensure Accessibility: Protect our scholarship fund, keeping this unique education accessible to students of all backgrounds and abilities.
