Fundraising Partnerships Current fundraising tools (Givebutter) and community outreach (ASL classes) alongside partnerships with universities indicate a strong opportunity to expand donor campaigns, foundation grants, and corporate sponsorships to support program expansion and ongoing operations.

Accessibility EdTech MDS uses accessibility tooling (UserWay) and maintains a digital footprint with YouTube and social widgets, signaling demand for external EdTech services such as website accessibility optimization, bilingual content solutions, and captioned video resources to enhance learning and outreach.

Expansion Opportunities As a PK-12 charter with a mid-size staff, there may be opportunities to partner with school networks or districts seeking inclusive Deaf education programs, pilot new curricula, or support school expansion plans.

Community Training Existing Community ASL classes demonstrate demand for Deaf education and ASL literacy; this creates upsell opportunities for paid educator training, family ASL programs, and continuing education offerings to broaden impact and revenue.

Competitive Position The ASL and English bilingual curriculum positions MDS as a niche leader in Deaf education, presenting opportunities to collaborate on research, grant funding, and public programs focused on inclusive education and accessibility.
