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
SBCS provides a quality education following the best research based practices

As a former teacher with over a decade in experience and a Masters Degree in Education from Harvard University, and as a parent who has spent countless hours in the classroom, I can testify that Santa Barbara Charter School provides a quality education following the best research based practices. Throughout the country schools are beginning to recognize the importance of providing social and emotional instruction and are struggling to implement approaches. SBCS has a long-standing and successful program in this area that could be a model for other schools.
