Fairview continues to move forward in new ways. Between April 30 and May 30, we will be conducting a Crowdfunding Campaign to fill the financial gap created by increased cost for materials and other changes with suppliers and service providers with respect to completing essential capital projects on the campus. Our goal is to raise $27,000 in this 30-day period. We want to ‘Open the school doors’ this summer for you to make a visit and enjoy the City of Cave Spring and Fairview. Go here to donate: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E350530&id=3

We are using the advantages of social media to expand the Fairview community of support. You can make your support known by making a contribution. You can also spread the word by sharing the link. There’s one more exciting twist. If you like, you can create your own Crowdfunding Campaign to make a personal appeal to your friends on behalf of Fairview. All of this is done in a controlled, highly secured, and safe online environment. We thank you for any way you choose to support this campaign.

Show your support! Please support my important cause!

As a proud surviving Rosenwald school we are delighted that The Wall Street Journal is shining this spotlight on our collective history.

The 4,978 Schools That Changed America In the early 20th century, a pioneering partnership between a Black educator and a white businessman brought new opportunity to American South.

We are grateful for the many contributions Jack Whatley made as a friend of Fairview. His loyalty and reliability were a good match for his willingness to do whatever it took make a meeting, fundraiser or gathering successful. Volunteers make our organization run. Jack will be remembered as one of our best.
