CAIRO Academy Capital Campaign
Together we can establish Oregon’s first permanent, culturally specific preschool designed for children of African immigrants.


$3.2 Million Campaign Goal
The next $200,000 will complete construction and renovation of the preschool building.
Please join the community top-off drive as we open the new school in Fall 2025!




Meeting a Community Need
- Add 40 new full-time preschool openings.
- Reach immigrant and refugee families facing cultural barriers.
- Support working families with free, full-day programming.
- Create professional training opportunities for parents.
- Establish a strong model for replication.
A new preschool will increase the number of children and families served by CAIRO and provide greater access to high quality education and programming.
