Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)

$138,835 spent. Dedicated to our ChildrenBecause the Learning Fund is the only organization outside of the school district itself that can fund staff in the school, the vast majority of our budget goes into programs to supplement staffing. With the money we raise, we are able to ensure that many important programs are not cut due to lack of funding from the school district. Our volunteers give us, the parents of Twin Creeks students, a voice in what programs are important and should be funded.
GovernanceOur operations are governed by the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation, of which we are a registered affiliate. To maintain this affiliation, the Learning Fund is required to meet several requirements including bonding board members, maintaining segregation of duties, and maintaining transparency in our operations.
