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.

If you would like to support and enable the fund to provide projects such as those awarded in 2011, you can Make a Donation to the Cambridge Alumni and Education Fund – be sure to designate your donation for the Cambridge City Schools Alumni and Friends Educational Fund and make note of your graduation year.

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 will be 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.
