The San Rafael High School Scholarship Foundation awards scholarships annually to graduating seniors at San Rafael High School (SRHS) who will be enrolling at an accredited college or university. Funds are paid directly to the school to help offset the costs of attendance.
The scholarship recipients are selected by the SRHSSF Board, with the administration of the awards managed by MCF. Recipients are selected based on their applications, which include statements describing a meaningful experience at SRHS, future aspirations, and an influential person or experience; a letter of recommendation; and a high school transcript.
While the scholarships are awarded on a need-blind basis, many recipients express the significance that the scholarships have in allowing them to pursue higher education and are often the first in their family to attend college.
Should you choose to support this organization or project, your contribution will be made to Marin Community Foundation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation that is a tax-exempt public charity under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).
Contributions made via the Donation Center are distributed by MCF to the donor’s intended recipient. In the case of MCF pooled funds, where donations are collected into a single fund and then granted to multiple organizations, MCF receives your donation and distributes the total collected funds to the grantees for that fund. Your contribution may take up to 45 days to be received by MCF and sent to the intended recipient organization. No fees are assessed on any specific donation to or from a fund. The full amount of your contribution to MCF constitutes a charitable contribution that may be tax deductible. Donors should consult their personal tax advisors for any questions regarding tax deductibility based on their personal tax situation.
In some instances, for reasons outside of MCF’s control, a contribution may not reach the intended recipient. This may be due to the intended recipient’s loss of federal or state tax-exempt status or other reasons. In such a case, MCF will select another recipient organization based on its sole discretion.
If you choose to support an organization by visiting their website to donate directly to the organization, Marin Community Foundation does not accept or hold any donation, or receive fees from any donation made directly to another organization.
