Support Your School
As parents we work hard to give our children the best experiences that we can. Since RMCS is a public charter school it receives fewer dollars from Federal and State sources than conventional public schools. Our goal is to bridge the gap between what the school receives and the rich educational experience we seek for our children.
River Montessori Annual Fund
Our 2019-2020 commitment is to raise $100,000.
100% of funds raised from the Annual Fund go toward the RMCS annual budget developed by the administration and board.
Did you know - If each RMCS family donated $50 a month per student, we will reach our goal without any further fundraising?!

Annual Fund donations can be made as a one-time contribution or can be spread in equal payments throughout the year, in many ways:
Does your employer offer a matching gift? Double your donation by asking your company or corporation if they match your contribution!
- By Credit or PayPal: Payments can be made through PayPal by filling out the information above and clicking "Donate."
- By Check: Use the Annual Fund pledge form and write a check made out to “River Montessori Foundation,” specifying “Annual Fund donation” in the memo line. Place checks and forms in the Foundation’s secure mailbox, located on the Foundation table on the left, just past the front desk in the entrance hallway of the school.

eScrip – Although Safeway no longer participates in the eScrip program, there are a number of ways to shop locally and support RMCS through your purchases! First, sign up for eScrip (or log in if you're already enrolled), select "River Montessori Charter School" as your benefit organization, and then check out these local retail programs:
Lumberjacks, McNear's, Seared, or Tup Tim Thai Cuisine, RMCS can also earn eScrip proceeds that way as well. It's easy to sign up for eScrip and then connect your cards, phone numbers, and/or Community Card numbers to eScrip -- just don't forget to update those credit/debit card numbers when they expire! |

Raley's – Simply shop at Raley's with your Raley's Something Extra card.
On July 1, 2017, Raley's updated their Wellness Education grants program. Until then (if you had previously signed up for the Extra Credit program), your Extra Credit earnings supported the charity(s) you previously selected. The final donation being sent to your charity will occur in September 2017. Under the new program, as a Something Extra member, every time you shop at your local Raley's from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, the Raley's Extra Credit Program will fund Wellness Education grants that support programs which foster wellness for schools (including RMCS!) through food literacy and sustainability. Shoparoo – If you shop at multiple grocery stores and still want your purchases to benefit our school, you'll love the Shoparoo app. Just download the Shoparoo app onto your Android or Apple smartphone, take pictures of your receipts from any store that sells grocery items -- from Costco to the Dollar Tree and 7-11 to Petaluma Market -- and earn "Roo Points" that convert into cash donations for the school. Submit up to 20 grocery receipts within a rolling 7 day period. (Non-grocery receipts from restaurants or other retailers enter the school into a sweepstakes, too!) |
