Ways To Give
Our goal for 2022–2023 is $3.7 million which allows San Carlos public schools to preserve core programs. As always, we appreciate every gift. It takes all of us working together to bridge the gap between state funding and a quality education for all students.
New this year! Your donation to SCEF now includes funding for your school PTA. You no longer need to make a separate donation to your PTA.

Our ask is $1,850 per student, but any gift is appreciated. Your gift to the Annual Fund is fully tax deductible. Tax ID: 94-2842712

Fund-The-Future of STEM
Each year SCEF raises restricted funds to support a designated school “need”. This year we are proud to dedicate the Fund-The-Future campaign to support the development and implementation of a plan to integrate STEM education at every grade level. Elementary and Middle School STEM education extends well beyond simple computations; by using science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts in the classroom, our students will become problem solvers as they investigate real world problems in the global sphere. Funds raised via the Fund-the-Future of STEM campaign will be dedicated to this endeavor.
