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 Gayle Hines, Chairman, at gfhines@bellsouth.net, or send your donation to The Garner Educational Foundation, P.O. Box 469, Garner, NC 27529.

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 the summer enrichment camp (Camp Invention), 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.
