Annual Giving Campaign
The Eureka Schools Foundation (ESF) is proud to play its role as your partner in education, helping community parents and businesses preserve a continuing high quality of instruction in Granite Bay and East Roseville. All of us - parents, teachers, administrators, and most importantly the kids - are pulling together to weather a season of unprecedented budget cuts.
Below are videos that the children of the Eureka School District have put together reguarding the importance of the additional funding that the Eureka Schools Foundation provides...

The Annual Giving Campaign (AGC) is a once-a-year fundraising and awareness campaign designed to reach every parent within the school district to generate much-needed contributions from each family and inform each family how their contributions directly sustain invaluable academic enrichment programs.
Thank you to our business partner for their support!
The campaign starts up amid the biggest challenge yet - an additional cycle of necessary budget cuts that threaten elimination of AGC’s target enrichment programs immediately in the fall of 2010.
The current state school funding crisis means that ALL of district enrichment funding --approximately $600,000 OR $175 per student -- must be borne by parent support through ESF or face cuts or even outright elimination in the fall. We all need to know the stakes and be given the ability to respond.

Donations are now being accepted for this school year's AGC. Donate online at “DONATE NOW” for an ongoing monthly donation in ANY amount, but consider a recurring monthly donation that totals $30/month (a dollar a day)! For families, particularly those with more than one school-age child, who can afford more than $30/month, think of the impact you can make by helping eliminate the risk of program cuts entirely with a larger donation. Any amount is gladly accepted and much appreciated.
You may also submit your 100% tax-deductible contribution by mailing it into the address listed below. Don’t forget to check with your employer about matching your gift and making it go even further. You can find a list of companies who participate in corporate matching or by checking with your own employer to see if it will also match your donation. For details on how to set up a matching grant in a few easy steps, please visit our Matching Grants page.
