Board members play a key role in strengthening Rockdale Education Foundation by helping connect community support to programs that directly benefit Rockdale County students. Three simple, high‑impact actions make the biggest difference:
Board members strengthen REF's work by making a personal gift each year at a level that is meaningful to them. Your contribution signals confidence in REF's mission, models community leadership, and helps us secure additional support from donors and partners who look to board participation as a sign of organizational strength.
Donations made be made online at: rockdaleeducationfoundation.org/donate/
The PTC program allows donors to redirect a portion of their Georgia state taxes to REF, providing support at no additional cost to them. Board members can help by sharing the opportunity, making introductions, and encouraging local partners to apply early each year.
Monthly gifts provide steady, reliable support to Rockdale Education Foundation. Board members may choose to become monthly givers and can invite friends, colleagues, and community members to also set up a recurring donation at any level. Even small monthly gifts add up to big impact.
