Chichester Education Foundation

Donations

March, 2007

Dear Business Community:

The Chichester Education Foundation (CEF) is currently seeking support from the local business community to help in its efforts to enhance public education in the Chichester School District. As a reminder to those of you who supported us in the past, and for those new contributors, the CEF is a 501C3 corporation established to partner with businesses to accept tax-deductible donations to help students better achieve academic and personal success.

One of our main objectives is to provide funding for upgrading district programs and facilities. Currently, we are processing numerous requests from groups within the school district. You may be familiar with a few of them:
- Chichester Middle School Band Parents Association
- Chichester High School Band Parents Association
- Home and School associations in all of our buildings, as well as
- Chi Parents for Girl Athletes

The CEF, along with these organizations have one common goal. That goal is to provide resources to improve the educational efforts of specific initiatives and projects. Examples of large projects would include a major renovation of the high school auditorium and adding a computer based learning system for the use of students who are unable to attend classes during the regular school day due to illness or other extenuating circumstances.

Donations to CEF represent a one hundred percent investment in your community. Your donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated by the volunteer members of the Chichester Education Foundation as well as by the students whose educational experience these gifts will enhance.

Sincerely,

Edward J. Cardow
President
