Immediate Use Funds CEF

IMMEDIATE USE FUNDS OVERVIEW

Since 2003, CEF has given over $621,275 in Immediate Use Funds to the CUSD schools. In past years these funds have been used to pay for a librarian’s salary, purchase school supplies, assist in teacher training, fund homework club, and provide assemblies, guest speakers and transportation for field trips. Immediate Use Funds come from the proceeds of the annual Starlight Soiree and contributions from individual donors.

CEF requires the funds be spent within the 2011/12 school year on projects or programs that have a direct impact on our students. This determination is made by the Principal, along with the elected site council, or parent/teacher organization of each school.

In 2012 CEF Gives $41,000 to Support Local Public Schools - Press Release

Where will the money go? We ask the schools to report back to us within 45 days of the distribution and describe the process they used to determine where to invest their share, and what programs or projects they will be funding that year.

In 2011 $50,000 were distributed to our schools. In past years these funds have been used to pay for a librarian's salary, purchase school supplies, assist in teacher training, fund homework club, and provide assemblies, guest speakers and transportation for field trips.
