About CCEF

The Choice for Children Education Foundation (CCEF) develops and maintains supplemental financial resources
and community support to assure that Livermore Valley Charter School (LVCS) fulfills its mission of excellence in
education through competitive choice.  CCEF works to develop active corporate, business, community, and
educational partnerships to assure strong interest and investment in the success of LVCS.

The Foundation’s main role is to fund LVCS through donations, fundraising activities, and grants.  CCEF strives to
fill the funding gap left by inadequate state and local funding.  CCEF is its own independent entity and is not
governed by the Board of LVCS.  The Foundation is a private organization allowing for anonymous, tax-exempt
donations.  CCEF also conducts fundraising events not normally feasible for a public school. Aside from the
Annual Fundraising Drive, the majority of dollars raised in 2005-2006 came from the community at large. We are
proud to announce that in 2006-2007 CCEF has pledged to raise the needed 400% increase in contributions to
properly fund LVCS. This has only been made possible through the generous support of the local businesses and
individuals.
