Fall ODE Community Dinner: A Door to the World

Benefitting ESL classes for immigrants, refugees, and other non-native speakers of English in our community

A fundraising campaign for Open Doors English - a project of CTA

October 7th Update: Meals for our take-out community dinner are SOLD OUT! Thank you so much for your support. Our goal for this fundraiser is $12,000. Thanks to meal contributions, generous donations, and sponsorship pledges, we're 80% of the way there--can you chip in to help us close the gap?

The proceeds of this dinner will directly support access to English language classes for immigrants and refugees. Our students pay tuition on a sliding scale and no one is turned away. However, the true cost of operating our school is far more than our students' tuition can cover, especially during the pandemic. Everything we raise will supplement tuition so everyone who needs us can come to our classes.


Open Doors English operates on a shoestring, and our teachers make half the prevailing wage for professional ESL teachers. Your gifts matter and your generosity is deeply appreciated.


Open Doors English is a fiscally-sponsored project of the Center for Transformative Action, a nonprofit, 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.

If you reserved meal(s), you will be receiving dinner(s) valued at $20 each. Any portion of a donation more than $20 is tax deductible to the extent allowed by current tax laws.
