In 1983, the Rim Education Foundation was established as a non-political, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing continuing financial support to preserve and encourage educational excellence in the Rim of the World Unified School District (ROWUSD).
Historically, the level of financial support from the State of California to California’s public schools has fluctuated from year to year, and our School District has taken a major financial hit due to declining enrollment. Therefore, the Foundation directs the funds it generates toward many goals, such as: curriculum enhancement, resource renewal, the implementation of creative and innovative education projects, and the establishment of an endowment fund.
Since its incorporation, the Foundation has been operated solely by volunteers, including the Board of Directors who act as governing trustee of the organization on behalf of the community at large and contributors while carrying out the organization’s mission and goals. The Foundation has donated over $600,000 to the schools over the years.
