Where does the $20 fee go?
The $20 cost of an OEF APPLE Award is a donation to the Okemos Education Foundation, so it is tax-deductible (as allowed by law) for the sender. The fee is added to the OEF’s General Fund for use in support of Okemos students.
Will the $20 I paid for my APPLE Award be given to the teacher I honored to be used in his/her classroom?
The full amount of the donation is put into the OEF General Fund and is used to pay for grant requests, educational programs, and after-school clubs that the Okemos Education Foundation supports. These programs benefit all Okemos schools (all 7 buildings) and students at every level of the district.
How will I know that my APPLE Award order has been received or that my award has been delivered?
The OEF will email you a receipt when your award has been printed, so you’ll know that we received your order. Once the award has been printed, it is delivered within 1-2 days (perhaps a bit longer if we have to mail the award).
