Ready, Set, GoEstimated Total Cost: $30,000Estimated Time Frame: 6 weeksThis is urgently needed to move onto the land and begin Phase 1

Phase 1: Get to Summer CampEstimated Total Cost: $32,000Estimated Time Frame: Needs to be completed by June 1st, 2013

*We anticipate that monthly costs will be an additional $1,000 more per month than we are now paying in our current location for exponentially more space that will enable us to cut down on other current costs, mostly food & transportation

Phase 2: Building the Model - Multipurpose space & accommodations for student groups, teachers, staff & volunteersEstimated Cost: $270,000Estimated time frame: Begin August, 2014, desired completion March, 2015

First Floor: Multipurpose roomThis will allow us to do many activities in a covered space: fundraising events, performances, guest speakers, student group activities, rainy day activities, exercise & dance classes, movie & media showings, parent meetings, additional dining space, additional storage and shower/locker rooms.

Second Floor: Student group & volunteer housingThis is how we envision creating a sustainable center. By housing volunteers & student groups on our property we will double the profit margin costs on our volunteer and student group income

Third Floor: Long-term & international staff & special visitorsBy providing private accommodations directly on our property we will be able to cut our costs for long-term volunteer housing and international staff travelling to the country for extended stays. We will attract a more diverse and qualified volunteer pool by providing free accommodations as a benefit to joining us as a volunteer. Ultimately this will allow us to offer more competitive salaries to employees and contractors in the Dominican Republic

Phase 2: Tennis Court Estimated Cost: $30,000Full cement tennis court with night lighting

Why a Tennis Court?Mariposa has had a tennis program for two years and it continues to be one of the most popular activities. Tennis is a life sport that will boost the self-esteem of our girls as this is normally a sport reserved for wealthy children. Building a tennis court is the exact out of the box thinking that we want to be known for. Lit tennis courts at night will also provide additional activity space for student groups while staying on the property as well as other events.

Over the next three to five years we will create training programs so that Mariposa program graduates can develop marketable job skills, become independent and earn income. By creating a Mini Mall, we anticipate that the organization will become 80% self-sustaining through revenue from the stores and income from student groups and service learning trips. Our goal is to launch Phase 3 in 2018 with the opening of the Visitors Center and Gift Shop and establish our main offices.
