Candace Wegner, head of school for Spring Garden Academy in Philadelphia, thanks Jubilee’s donors for the 16 laptops her school received in April.
Spring Garden Academy’s laptops were part of the 71 laptops provided by Jubilee for our schools’ students during the COVID-19 school shutdown. Without them, many of these students would be unable to participate in distance education provided by Spring Garden and other schools.

Children's Jubilee Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization established in 1997 to provide tuition grants to Christian schools in the Philadelphia metro area that serve lower-income students. These grants are then awarded by the schools as scholarships to students who meet income and residency guidelines. Each year, Jubilee provides hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants that, in turn, help hundreds of students in Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery, and Camden Counties achieve their God-given academic and personal potential. Children's Jubilee Fund is an entirely donor-supported organization.
