As of June 1, 2005, CEIF is no longer accepting requests for feasibility
studies and start-up operating grants for Nativity/Miguel or Cristo
Rey schools. The foundation is devoting its resources to programs sponsored
by the NativityMiguel Network (www.nativitymiguelschools.org), and the Cristo Rey Network® (www.cristoreynetwork.org).
Since 2000 CEIF has supported 58 Nativity/Miguel initiatives, with a
total commitment of $9.6 million, and has contributed $12 million towards
the creation of the Cristo Rey schools. The Cristo Rey Network® has 19
schools currently and plans to open at least another three schools in 2008. CEIF has been pleased to play a role in the creation
of the Nativity/Miguel and Cristo Rey schools. We urge other foundations
and philanthropists to join the movement.
