Endowments

Every autumn, when students enroll in Eugene District 4J schools, your gift will be there to help them.  A gift of any size may be added to the endowment of your choice; if you’re interested in establishing a new endowment please call David Meredith, Executive Director, at (541) 343-6877.

 

District-wide programs -The District Fund supports Diagnostic Reading Kits, which address the district’s priority of high literacy at all grade levels, and other priorities of the district as a whole.      

Music - So that the joy of music is sustained during middle-school years, the Nathan Dickman Memorial Music Fund was created.  Earnings provide instruction, sheet music and instruments.  Benefits now rotate among schools; as the fund grows, all will benefit every year.

Field Trips - So that all children can use the wider world as a place to learn, the Field Trip Fund was created.  Earnings go to all schools in proportion to their size and the financial needs of their students.
Urgent Needs - The Margaret Nichols Fund honors the lifetime contributions of the late Dr. Nichols, 4J Superintendent until 1997.  Earnings give principals a fund from which they can quickly pay for a particular student’s school supplies, health care, or other urgent need. 
Enrichment activities at South Eugene High - So that more students can benefit from clubs, sports and classes for which fees are charged, the SEHS Alumni Fund Endowment was created.  Beneficiaries include students who otherwise could not afford participation.

Writing - So that students learn the power of words, the Writing Fund was created.  Earnings are used to fund activities identified by the 4J Instruction Department.

Be a friend of 4J, and help find new ones – To speed the development of new resources, by finding new friends of 4J, the Development Fund was created.  Earnings are used to boost the number of contacts made each year by volunteers and staff.
