Why Donate

Be the Spark That Fuels Student Success

When you give to the Made in Santa Rosa Education Foundation, you're doing more than making a donation—you’re becoming a champion for equity, creativity, and opportunity in our public schools.

Your support directly powers programs that open doors for K–8 students across Santa Rosa City Schools—especially in under-resourced communities. Together, we’re creating access to the kinds of experiences every child deserves, but not every child receives.

Your gift helps fund:

  • Arts, music, and cultural programs that ignite creativity

  • Sports and recreation opportunities that build confidence and teamwork

  • ELITE Early Literacy, our targeted reading program for grades 1–3

  • Book Vending Machine Program that promote student choice and a love of reading

  • STEAM initiatives that encourage innovation and problem-solving

  • Teacher-led classroom grants to bring learning to life

  • Campus gardens and beautification that foster hands-on learning and school pride

  • Student engagement programs that amplify youth voice and build inclusive school culture

Your generosity sustains our mission and helps close the opportunity and achievement gaps. Together, we can ensure every student—no matter their zip code—has access to the tools, inspiration, and support they need to thrive.
