Donation terms

The following terms and conditions apply to all donations made to SBCS:

  • Charges for one-time donations are immediate;
  • Charges for schedule donations (i.e., donation pledges) are processed every month in the same day of the month as the first payment (if a working day) or the last working day before that date if the original day falls on a holiday;
  • Recurring transactions can be cancelled at any time by donors, in which case any future charges thereafter will not take place.

All donations are fully tax-deductible under code 170 of the Internal Revenue Code, under section 501(c)(3) of that Code. SBCS will mail receipts to use for exemption purposes, which document its status as a public charity, under section 170(b)(1)(A)(11). SBCS’ EIN will be provided on demand.

The SBCS Office in general, and Laura Donner in particular, will make any effort necessary to accommodate schedules, payment dates and processing steps to your needs:

Testimonials
My children have been well served by their years at SBCS

Working in technology, I am continuously reminding my team that while engineering skills are the cost of admission, collaboration and communication skills are what will drive their careers forward. It is in this area that Santa Barbara Charter School really stands out: the focus on social and communication skills at SBCS is giving its alumni skills that will open doors for them in the information age, where collaboration and communication are central. My children have been well served by their years at SBCS. Please visit and learn more about a school that is delivering on its mission to teach key skills like writing and math, and more than that, to deliver the soft skills that are absolutely foundational to success in the 21st century.
