Foundation Account FAQ

Q. Someone wants to donate money to my classroom/school/program. What should they do?

It is District policy that all monetary donations are processed through CPSF. People interested in donating to a Corvallis classroom, school, or program can use our secure online server at www.cpsfoundation.org, can mail or deliver their donation to 1555 SW 35th St., Corvallis, OR 97333, or can give their donation to a District employee who will send it to us by courier. In all cases, the donor should clearly indicate which classroom, school, and/or program the donation is intended for.

Q. What happens then?

We deposit donations to a Corvallis School District account, typically within one week of receipt of the donation. We then add the donation to a spreadsheet where individual classroom and program accounts are tracked. We send a tax receipt to the donor and answer any future questions related to the donation. At the end of the fiscal year, we audit each Foundation account to ensure that donations were spent in the manner in which they were intended.

Q. How do I spend the funds once they are in my Foundation account?

You would contact the OA or bookkeeper at your school or in your department and access these funds in the same manner as any District funds. Foundation funds are spent through the District purchase order process and are subject to all District spending policies.

Q. How do I find out how much money I have in my Foundation account?

You can contact the OA or bookkeeper at your school or you can call our office at 541-757-5857 or email us at foundation@corvallis.k12.or.us and we will be happy to give you your available balance.
