Suggested Donation Information
To sustain our programs, the MVEF suggested donation per student per year is currently $1,100.
This adjustment comes after six years without an increase and is necessary to continue providing the quality education and resources that our students deserve. Several factors have contributed to this decision: inflation, rising program costs, higher operational costs and the increasing pressure with grants, especially in the corporate environment.
But every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Your support helps us fund vital programs and expand educational opportunities for all students. Thank you for investing in our students and our community!
MVWSD is one of the most socioeconomically-diverse school districts in Santa Clara County.
Families contribute over 80% of the total amount raised by MVEF each year. As the total amount donated to MVEF continues to grow, we can continue to add and refine the funding priorities and programs.
