SchoolsRule Equity in Education Fund in honor of Mary Jane Burke
Founded in 2011, SchoolsRule-Marin is a collaboration of all Marin's public school foundations, working together as one to raise funds on behalf of all TK-12 students countywide helping to ensure that essential educational opportunities are available to EVERY public school student in Marin, regardless of zip code.

In 2022, SchoolsRule established the SchoolsRule Equity in Education Fund at the Marin Community Foundation to honor Mary Jane Burke's 50 years of service to the children of Marin including her 28 years as Marin County Superintendent of Schools. Contributions to this legacy fund will support the continuation of the arts, literacy, technology and health programs in Marin public schools, specifically benefiting students with the greatest need and ensuring that Mary Jane's lifelong vision of equitable opportunities for ALL students lives on for future generations. 

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.
