The Cambridge Alumni and Friends Educational Fund provides support to educational programs for the Cambridge City School District. Donations to the fund ensure students and teachers have access to resources for programs and activities that enhance and enrich their educational experience.
The Cambridge Alumni and Friends Educational Fund is part of Guernsey County Foundation’s family of funds, an affiliate fund of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Mission Statement
The Cambridge Alumni and Friends Educational Fund is a community-based trust established to receive contributions from individuals, families, small groups, organizations and businesses for the purpose of promoting academic excellence and enhancing the educational experience of all Cambridge City School students through classroom enrichment. All donations are placed into an endowed fund, with only the income from the principle fund used to carry out the mission, without invading the principle.
Classroom enrichment shall include academic and fine arts activities selected by the designated committee of the Cambridge Alumni and Friends Educational Fund trustees. The board of trustees that governs the fund and its policies include Cambridge alumni, community leaders and representatives, and friends of the Cambridge City Schools. All contributions to the fund are tax-deductible. As contributions accumulate year after year, the fund will continue to grow and serve Cambridge’s students and educators in future years. The fund provides a vehicle for alumni, friends and supporters of academic excellence for the Cambridge City Schools to provide a contribution outside of the traditional funding sources to enrich and enhance the educational experience of students in the Cambridge City School District.
