Honor Roll

When you choose to give, one of the best ways you can help is to become a monthly donor. It’s convenient for you – and allows us to plan more effectively with greater impact because it saves us money! 

That means your monthly gift = more funding for programs + even more of an impact on a student.

Thank you for your help in strengthening student success and economic development in Sonoma County.

The CTE Foundation is recognized as a 501(c)3 organization for tax reporting purposes, EIN#: 46-5607272.

“Why we trust CTE Foundation with our investment – and why you should too.”

Why were you inspired to give to CTE Foundation?

We must do a better job of preparing students for success through results-driven career training programs in local high schools. The CTE Foundation is changing lives by investing in dozens of CTE courses in every corner of Sonoma County. They’re leading the way and opening up ground-breaking opportunities that provide students with the skills they need to land a family-sustaining career after graduation.

What motivated you to join the Honor Roll monthly giving program?

We strongly believe in the mission of the CTE Foundation and we trust them completely. It was an easy decision to financially support the cause because we see the positive impacts they’re bringing to the lives of young people. We know our dollars will be put to good work, investing in the future of our students and the North Bay economy.

What impact do you hope to make?

Over the past five years, we have seen the most destructive wildfires in California’s history. One of the biggest challenges we have faced with the rebuilding of local neighborhoods is the extreme labor shortage our region grapples with each and every day. The work the CTE Foundation is doing — for example, expanding their construction career classes — is a huge benefit to our local economy. But most importantly, it’s providing an opportunity for young people to do good and secure a great job that will turn into a lifelong career in the trades.
