NEW! School District Foundation

The Castro Valley Unified School District for years now has looked at the various foundations that have provided funds to programs – be they educational, arts, sports or music. Why? Because the School District, has wanted access to the monies raised - to take control of the monies. This is a blatant attack on the work done by the non-profit organizations who have served our communities so well. Before COVID, there were meetings where the District openly sought to “join an existing outside fundraising organization” (CV Forum Jan. 29,2025) with the goal was to access the monies raised. Our foundations are free from the politics that is the essence of this School Board. A “School District” foundation will undermine the fundraising efforts of the various Castro Valley fundraising organizations – wiping out years of outstanding service to our community. Tell the School Board “HANDS OFF!!” and stop this blatant attack.
