Donate to the OEF 2010 Strategic Fund

Print this page.

The Okemos Education Foundation's mission is Recognizing Excellence and Promoting Innovation in Okemos Public Schools.  The OEF Strategic Fund campaign is an effort to provide critical funding to key strategic areas so that excellence in Okemos Public Schools can not only be recognized, but maintained.  Our schools face unprecedented budget cutbacks and need your financial support not just for innovation, but for basic classroom necessities and to provide students with learning opportunities beyond the classroom.  More than ever before, the quality of Okemos students' education depends on us.  All of us.  We hope we can count on your support. 

For your convenience, we now accept online credit card donations.  We are using PayPal to process our online donations.  Your credit card information is input directly into PayPal's secure website and not shared with the OEF. 

Although PayPal processes our donations, you do not need a PayPal account to make a one-time credit card donation to the OEF.  A PayPal account is required, however, if you wish to make a "recurring" donation.

Supporters of the Strategic Fund will also be recognized as part of the OEF Partners in Education program.  If you would prefer to submit a gift by mail, please use our printable pledge form.  Many corporations have matching gift programs where they will match their employees charitable contributions.  Please check with your Human Resources department to find out if your company will match your gift to the OEF. 

Thank you for supporting the Okemos Education Foundation!

The Okemos Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity, and donations are deductible to the full extent of the law.  Our tax identification number is: 38-2571832.  Although out-of-state donations will not be rejected, this solicitation is intended for Michigan residents only.

OPTIONAL: Donation Preferences

Unrestricted contributions to the Okemos Education Foundation enable us to apply funds where they are most needed.  However, if you wish to direct a portion (or all) of your donation to be used specifically towards funding core academic areas or clubs/extracurriculars, please indicate the amount desired below.

Donations not designated for other areas will automatically be considered unrestricted.  For added clarity, you may also indicate the amount you choose to remain unrestricted below.


Unrestricted donations allow the OEF to apply funding where there is the greatest need.

Funding to support the core academic areas of math, science, reading, and social studies.

Funding to support academic clubs and extracurricular activities that extend learning beyond the classroom.

If you are interested in exploring sponsorships or other opportunities to fund specific areas of need, please contact OEF Chair Dean Bolton  at chair@oefsite.org
