Redwood High School Foundation Annual Campaign
 

Each year the RHSF asks parents and friends of Redwood to make a tax-deductible contribution to help improve the quality of education. Your gift enhances Redwood’s ability to meet our high expectations for a well-rounded secondary education. State funding and local property taxes simply do not fund the kind of education we desire. Today, more than ever, Redwood is dependent on outside sources of funds to continue to provide the highest quality education to our students.

Our goal, this year is to raise $400,000. In order to accomplish this goal, we are asking families to donate $1,000 per student, consistent with the level of support provided to elementary and middle school programs. We sincerely hope more families will participate in this year’s campaign, as Redwood’s participation levels remain well below those of our K-8 schools. The needs at Redwood are just as important! In the past four years, the Foundation has contributed over $2.5 million dollars to improving Redwood and its programs. That’s impressive! Your contribution makes a real difference in the quality of education at Redwood.

Other Ways to Give

Stock Donations
The benefits of giving appreciated securities are significant. Your tax-deductible donation is based on the fair market value of the security at the time of donation, if you’ve owned the stock for one year or more. By donating the security rather than selling it, you avoid potential capital gains taxes. Please call the Foundation office at (415) 924-6793 or redwoodhsf@hotmail.com for details on how to donate stock.

Corporate Matching Gifts
Last year Corporate Matching Gift Programs contributed over $50,000 to RHSF. Many companies will match your contribution, often up to 100% of your gift! Please check with your company’s HR person to obtain the matching gift form. If you would like us to contact your employer, please contact our office at (415) 924-6793.
