MORAGA EDUCATION FOUNDATION

CAMPAIGN UPDATE
We are 32% of the way towards reaching our fundraising goal for the year of $3.25M. You can participate in the MEF Giving Campaign HERE. Thank you!

PARTICIPATION LEVELS
Last year, Rheem ended the Giving Campaign with the highest participation rate, but this year, they’ve gotten a slow start - so it’s anyone’s game! Current participation rates by school are: CP: 33.6%, Campo: 28%, LP: 25.1%, JM: 24%, Rheem: 19.2%. Thank you to all of the families who have participated. If you haven’t participated yet, you can increase your school’s participation rate by contributing to the MEF Giving Campaign here!

FUNDING GAP
It costs almost $20,000 a year to educate a student at Campolindo, but our district only receives about $16,000 from the state and federal governments. That leaves a $4,000gap - and it’s up to us to fill that gap. Some of it is covered through local parcel taxes, but Campo relies on your contributions to the Moraga Education Foundation for the rest.
