The Heartwood Educational Collaborative is the fundraising foundation for the Heartwood Charter School Bothin Program in Fairfax, CA. We help organize family donations, throw fundraising events, and partner with local businesses to make sure our beloved school has the money it needs to do its best for our kiddos!
The Heartwood Educational Collaborative is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit organization:
EIN 47-2834601
P.O. Box 822, Fairfax, CA 94978-0822
Every year, the Heartwood School Board gives us a fundraising target for a specific list of school priorities. This year our target is $80-100K for:
School Field Trips like Lassen, Rite of Passage, or Shakespeare Festival!
Enrichment Class Expenses like high-quality music or art supplies!
Festival Expenses like strawberry shortcake at Mayfaire!
Rent to the Girl Scouts for the exceptional Bothin Campus!
Improvements to Bothin classrooms like new carpets or cubbies!
Teacher appreciation gifts and care!
We invite all of our Heartwood families to directly donate to the school! Our suggested donation for 2025-26 is $900 per student, but we honor all giving levels and ask only for your support within the means of your family.
Part of Heartwood's beauty is a diverse community, and that includes economic diversity. Some families can comfortably contribute $900, others a tenth that, others 3 times that. The essential thing is that we each contribute!
Donations can be made in lump sums or in installments throughout the year, including from Donor-Advised Funds. Make sure to check if you work for a company that offers matching!
PayPal Giving Fund (lowest fees, but one-time donations only)
Company Giving Sites - we're on Benevity, YourCause, and CyberGrants.
Checks to "Heartwood Educational Collaborative" mailed to "PO Box 822, Fairfax, CA 94978" or post-dated and dropped off at the school office.
