The CARE Fund is our organization's vehicle for charitable contributions to the District, helping faculty, classified professionals, and administrators at both colleges and the district office, to serve our students and communities.  

The Fund's funds are professionally managed and are invested in stock and bond mutual funds to provide diversity, safety and income. That income, along with the contributions of members, provides the basis of grants to each of the colleges and to the District Office team. Since 2011, we have awarded more than $31,000 to 75 successful grant applications.  You can read about what those grants have helped to accomplish at https://care-news.org/grants/grant_winners.htm.

With active participation of members donating, the Fund is strong, but additional donations absolutely will help to fulfill its purpose. The larger the CARE Fund is, the greater the earnings and the larger the distribution to the colleges can be.

This is an appeal for you to open your checkbook and make a donation to the CARE Fund. You can be assured that your contributions will be used to help current colleagues at Chabot College, Las Positas College, and the District Office find ways to do their jobs even better.  Please support the CARE Fund and be as generous as you can.

Thank you.
The CARE Board
