Serve the Mission Fund

In alignment with our mission and vision, our commitment at RISE East Bay is to extend our services to as many students and families as possible. In support of this initiative, the “Serving the Mission Fund,” offers families the opportunity to contribute back to the school through a mandatory monthly donation of a minimum of $25 ($250 annually).

These contributions play a crucial role in supporting various school initiatives, including the sponsorship of other students, development of future programs, funding classrooms, and more!

It’s important to note that any amount contributed to this fund is considered a donation and is separate from school tuition. As RISE Education System is a 501(c)(3) organization, these donations are tax deductible. Official receipts are available upon request.

RISE East Bay greatly appreciates the ongoing support of its students and families!
