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:

Children here are taught how to deal with conflict

There are many reasons we LOVE Santa Barbara Charter School:
The first that comes to mind is the emphasis on building relationships. Children here are taught how to deal with conflict. Obviously bullying is not acceptable anywhere; but the manner in which it is dealt with makes the difference. For instance, instead of sending a child to the principal’s office due to a “no tolerance” policy, the entire class takes the time to discuss and work through the conflict. Many times my children are able to work through disagreements on their own and my intervention is not necessary. As a parent I’m sure you would agree to the value of such skills. Children here are encouraged to be unique, to be themselves, and accepting of others. The whole child, emotional and intellectual, is nourished and celebrated.
