Invest in Education for Students or Educators
Your gift can completely fund a college scholarship or student program services for one of our Take Stock in Children student scholars. Through a partnership with the Florida Prepaid College Foundation, we are able to match your donation 100% and purchase a two-plus-two college scholarship that will provide a Take Stock student with two years of tuition to a community or vocational school and two years of tuition to the Florida state college of their choice.

You also have the opportunity to sponsor an educator in a Collier County high needs school who is working towards an advanced degree. Please contact us for additional details regarding these opportunities.

Fund a Classroom Grant
Any size gift can help fund a Classroom Grant. These grants help teachers provide students with unique learning experiences not available through the limited school budget. You may send us your donation and we can match it with a student project, or you can visit Connect with a Classroom to select a project of your choice.

Provide In-Kind Services
Help us put even more of our revenues into classrooms by providing meeting space, catering, marketing, entertainment or other in-kind services.  Gift certificates or retail goods are also valuable in-kind donations that can be used as incentives for students and teachers or as items in a fundraising auction.

Donate Books
Donate your new or gently used books to a school in need. We're happy to help you connect with a school in need of them.

Purchase a License for Learning

If you own a car, you have the ability to provide Collier County students with unique learning opportunities that can put them on the road to success!

The License for Learning (Florida Educational Plate), a specialty Florida license plate, showcases your support for our schools and provides funding for The Education Foundation’s Grant Program.  Twenty dollars of the annual $22 fee is donated to the Foundation and given directly to teachers for their innovative classroom projects.

And it’s easy to purchase.  When you renew your registration at the local tax collector’s office, simply let them know you wish to replace your current license plate with the Florida Educational Plate, or go to http://www.license4learning.com.

Make an Endowed Gift
Help us build a permanent fund to support our work.  Funds from our endowment are invested, generate ongoing revenue, and help ensure the long-term financial stability of The Education Foundation.  Our endowment also includes opportunities to name a program in your honor, or in memory of a loved one.
