The
Foundation
The
Molalla River Education Foundation, Inc. is an independent, non-profit,
tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization incorporated in 1996 to enhance the
educational opportunities for the Molalla River community.
The Foundation is made up of volunteer parents, business leaders,
educators, alumni and other community members who work in an organized
manner to ensure high quality educational programs for the community.
The
Foundation's Board of Trustees meets regularly to establish spending
priorities, make investment decisions and assist the community in their
fund raising activities. Anyone interested in serving as a Trustee
should contact the Foundation. The Board of Trustees elects
officers at its annual meeting in August.
Although
the Foundation works cooperatively with several community
organizations, it is a separate legal entity registered with the State of
Oregon.

MOLALLA
RIVER EDUCATION
FOUNDATION, INC.
ENRICHING
EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY
|
The
Need
As
the cost of education increases and the revenues from government sources
decrease, it becomes more difficult to provide support for educational
opportunities. Tax deductible gifts to a foundation from private
individuals and corporate entities are one of the ways to bridge the
growing gap between needs and available resources. With your support,
Molalla River Education Foundation, Inc. will close this gap.
The
Solution
You
and your contributions (of funds or time) are the key to our success. What
would happen if each family gave an annual $10 tax deductible gift to the
Molalla River Education Foundation, Inc.? More than $25,000 could be
raised annually to support and enhance educational opportunities. Equally
important are volunteers for committees and projects. Won't you consider
making a contribution today?
Grants
and Scholarships Awarded
In
an effort to provide educational enrichment to students in our community,
the Foundation has distributed over $6,000 to winners of competitive
grants that meet specific needs in our schools. This additional financial
boost to educators can make the difference between an average or excellent
educational experience for kids.
In
addition, over $4,000 has been given in nine college scholarships to
graduating seniors who have excelled in their high school studies and will
be continuing their education.

The
Molalla River Education Foundation is proud to be a contributing part of
the community and will continue to solicit funds that will be directed
through our nonprofit organization for the sole purpose of enhancing
education.
