Join The Rumson Education Foundation!
Please join the REF team as an Associate or Board Member. It takes many volunteers to make our events successful and we appreciate any time you have to lend. From selling ads for the Ad Journal to helping decorate for a celebration or volunteering a shift in a house on the Kitchen Tour, there is something to match every skill set and talent. Apply for a Board Member position here. To join as an Associate or volunteer, please contact us.
We look forward to welcoming many more volunteers to the REF as we work together to make our schools the best they can be!

Smart Ways To Give
Corporate Matching Programs
Did you know when you make a gift, you can request a matching gift from your employer, who then makes their own gift? Companies usually match gifts at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio!
Simply check the box 'Get my company to match my donation' in the form below.
Give Appreciated Stock
Gifting appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds means a larger gift and a larger tax-deduction.
Avoid capital gains tax on appreciated stock!
Receive income tax charitable deduction!
Potential for corporate matching!
