DONATE TO RCEF
Your tax-deductible donation to RCEF directly adds to the joy and rewards of both teaching and learning, from pre-school through high school classes in our area’s public schools. Our community reaps the rewards as our coastal children participate in challenging academic projects, go on exciting field trips, discover new avenues of learning, and explore specialized educational materials. These experiences make their school years memorable and informative, helping to inspire them to be life-long learners.
​
RCEF is a tax-exempt 501(c) (3) organization, and because board members fund all administrative costs, 100% of every tax-deductible donation goes directly to teacher-initiated projects. IRS regulations require us to state that the Redwood Coast Education Foundation does not provide goods or services to you in consideration of your contribution.
Please donate to RCEF and help us spread the word about RCEF to family and friendswho are interested in enriching local educational experiences. You may also wish to consider designating RCEF as a recipient in your will or trust.
​
We invite you to talk to any current or past RCEF board members regarding our organization, and why we are so passionate about contributing to education through RCEF grants. Current board members are listed below.
