Funding An Outdoor Education Project
The RVOEP is a community-supported project of the UUSD and this means that we receive no direct funding from the school district. Each year the RVOEP Educational Coordinator and Advisory Board put a noteworthy effort into raising the funds to keep the project going and to provide bus transportation to the RVOEP. Please see our list of RVOEP donors and join us in thanking them for their support.
FUND RAISING EFFORTS CONTINUE THIS YEAR. Thanks to the renewed support of our anonymous donor, our teaching position is funded through the 2008-09 school year. The Ukiah Educational Foundation has provided funding for our RVOEP Instructional Assistant for this school year. We are working hard to develop other stable funding sources so that we can continue to provide high-caliber outdoor environmental education programs for our school district and community, but we need help! Bus transportation alone costs about $7,000 each year. If you know of an organization or individual that would like to become a partner in our efforts, please refer them to the RVOEP Educational Coordinator. And, consider making an extra contribution to the RVOEP this year! Buy a series ticket to the WILDLIFE FILM FESTIVAL. See details below.
