RCEF's Bridging the Gap Mini Grants
The Redwood City Education Foundation (RCEF) is committed to improving the academic performance of underserved K-8 public school students in Redwood City. We provide financial support, advocacy, and community engagement to address systemic inequities and expand access to quality education to close the gaps in resources and opportunities.

Overview

This initiative aims to address resource disparities and support the unique needs of students in our district, improving engagement, achievement, and access to enrichment.
