Every Donation Makes A Difference

Each year, HEF raises money to reduce the impact of declining State of California funding to public education.

Every donation makes a difference, is 100% tax deductible and directly benefits each child’s education. And, many companies have matching grant programs for their employees—check with yours!

With YOUR help, this is accomplished through the following campaigns:

Annual Fund Campaign

YOUR support of the Annual Fund Campaign preserves vital programs in our public schools, such as the Arts, Athletics, Music, Library and Student Support Services; programs essential to a well-balanced education for YOUR student! HEF asks every student family to consider a gift of $200.00 each school year (just over $1/school day!!) towards their child’s education. Every gift, no matter the amount, is extremely valuable, is 100% tax deductible and directly benefits YOUR child’s education. For information on how to make YOUR Annual Fund donation, choose one of these options:

Adopt-a-Class

A parent, grandparent, individual, business or organization can sponsor a classroom or teacher of their choice in the Healdsburg Unified School District (HUSD) or the Alexander Valley School (AVS). The donation is made available to the designated classroom, department or program for curriculum materials, supplies, field trips or whatever the teacher (or Department Chair) feels is most needed.

Adopt-a-Class was originally co-sponsored by the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce in an effort to unite local businesses in support of our local public schools. Since its inception, there has been a steady increase in funds received from donors to this popular program each year. For the 2006-07 school year, the Adopt-a-Class program provided over $64,000 to classrooms or departments in HUSD and AVS schools!

Business Partnership

Everybody benefits from strong community schools. The Business Partnership Program enables local businesses to support Healdsburg public schools and their community. And HEF helps to increase our business partners’ visibility and encourages shopping loyalty within the local schools and the community at large. The schools support the business community and the business community supports the schools - a true partnership! And, remember, the entire amount of all donations is 100% tax deductible.
