Community Support

The Garner Educational Foundation is a non-profit, community-based organization of volunteers.  All GEF activities are dependent on funding provided by local entities and individuals. Individuals interested in providing a donation to GEF are asked to contact Mary Lib Perry, Chairman, at garneredfoundation@gmail.com or send your donation to The Garner Educational Foundation, P.O. Box 581, Garner, NC 27529.

GEF receives donations via the United Way Campaign.  Individuals can make a donation through United Way by writing in "Garner Educational Foundation" as a recipient.

Specific yearly donations are needed for initiatives such as the R. W. Moore Scholarship for a senior from Garner Magnet High School, school grants, dictionaries for the SCOR volunteer reading program for second graders ($20 per student book), and sponsorships for STARS on Stage, and the Storytelling Festival.

Ongoing donations are requested for GEF sponsored rewards for the staff of the area schools, for a retirement event for Garner area schools retirees, and for specific projects in the long-range plan. Individuals interested in providing a donation for any of these expenses are asked to contact Marjorie Barefoot at marjfoot@bellsouth.net.
