Ways to Give

A strong endowment protects our annual grant to the district from business cuts and economic cycles of booms and busts. Through stewardship of donations and prudent financial management, we can ensure continuity and stability through a self-perpetuating fund. Visit our Endowment page​ to learn more.

Monthly giving is easy, effective and affordable. Monthly donors provide dependable funding to protect education now and in the future.

Grow your donation! Companies like Apple, Google and IBM are among the many corporations with a matching program. Many companies match donations their employees make to charities and some match gifts made by retirees. This is an amazing way for you to amplify your gift.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a fast-growing charitable program which allows donors to make a contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time. If you have a DAF, you can recommend grants directly to support CEF. Donors recommend donations to CEF from many DAFs – popularly Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable and Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Click on the links above or go directly to the DAF page to initiate your donation recommendation.
