GIFTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

The Mohonasen Foundation for Excellence is a not-for-profit corporation funded by contributions from staff, benefactors, community members and local businesses who wish to support its goal of promoting excellence in the Mohonasen Schools. Contributions support programs and activities that directly improve quality education through grants and promote community-school partnerships with alumni and residents. 

All contributions are tax deductible. The Foundation does not levy an administration fee, so contributions return in full to support Mohonasen’s students.

A way to contribute to the Mohonasen Foundation for Excellence is through...

• State Employees' Federated Appeal (SEFA):  State employees can contribute to the Foundation through SEFA, the State Employees Federated Appeal. Contributions can be designated in full or part to benefit the Foundation. Payroll deductions are available. Please use Code 68652 if you choose to designate the Mohonasen Foundation as the recipient of your SEFA giving.

2009 UPDATE: Thanks to state employees who designated the Mohonasen Foundation as recipient of all or part of their SEFA contributions. As a result of your generosity, Mohonasen students benefit from new educational opportunities. Recent programs supported by the Mohonasen Foundation include astronomy equipment for the Draper observatory, books to help students become better readers, a sculpture to commemorate Sept. 11, and breadboard trainers for the high school technology program. Many district residents who are state employees met Mohonasen Foundation representatives at October's SEFA Fair in the North Concourse at the Empire State Plaza. The Foundation is participating in this year's SEFA drive. Look for us in October and stop by to say hello. 

• GE Matching Grant Program: General Electric will contribute a matching amount when ten employees contribute a total of $1,000. Anyone interested in joining this group of contributors should contact the Foundation. General Electric employees may also contribute to the Mohonasen Foundation through the United Way by using code 0368.

• Gifts: Gifts in the form of cash, stocks, or any other type of asset offer tax benefits. The Foundation will work with you and your attorney to plan your gifts.

• Bequests: You can leave a specific amount or a percentage of your estate to the Foundation in your will. The Foundation will work with you and your attorney to design trusts and other estate plans that reflect your desires.

• Memorials: Any gift to the Foundation can be made "in memory of" a special person.

• Honoring someone special: Honor a loved one, a special teacher, a retiring educator, or a special achievement through a gift to the Foundation.
