The Arnold & Itkin Foundation Donates $110,000 to The Monarch School

HOUSTON, Nov. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Arnold & Itkin Foundation has announced it is making a $110,000 donation to The Monarch School and Institute, a school for students with neurological differences.

This recent donation was made in response to the current health crisis. Due to the economic impact of COVID-19, The Monarch School saw a severe decline in its fundraising and was forced to consider reducing enrollment. To prevent cuts to its program, Kurt and Tara Arnold and Jason and Kisha Itkin generously donated through the firm's charitable foundation, the Arnold & Itkin Foundation.

"While others are stepping back," Kurt Arnold said, "we are stepping up."

The donation will ensure that enrollment will continue to grow and that the school will be able to operate as close to normal as possible through the pandemic and beyond.

About The Monarch School and Institute

The Monarch School and Institute serves students with autism, ADHD, ADD, learning disabilities, and other neurodevelopment disorders. The curriculum is customized according to each learner's needs, providing them with therapeutic education that empowers them to manage their own neurological differences while leading independent lives. As the organization's website puts it: "We want to break down stereotypes associated with neurological differences. We have the privilege of discovering gifts, talents and strengths that might have gone unrealized. And we have the honor of introducing our clients to the world as they really are—competent, strong, smart, tenacious and funny—and the world is often surprised."
