Ways to Help
We believe by supporting Thames Valley Education Foundation you are helping our students prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.
Every dollar matters. A $25 donation packs a week of lunches for a student who didn’t have a lunch last week. A $100 donation keeps a student warm in the winter with a proper winter coat instead of the sweatshirt they were wearing. A $5,000 donation to the Caring Fund supports approximately 16 emergency requests.
A donation to Thames Valley Education Foundation gives hope to a student’s otherwise uncertain future.
TVEF must raise $500,000 to ensure every student that needs a little or a lot of support is cared for and given every opportunity to learn at their best and be their best.
