Conestoga Valley School District

Every trustee has, since its founding, also supported CVEF with a financial contribution. The Board of Trustees is committed to strong financial stewardship in support of its grant program and building its endowment. Trustees annually commit three-quarters of all funds raised to the Foundation's endowment, ensuring resources will be available in perpetuity for future generations of Conestoga Valley students. The remaining quarter, plus investment earnings, is used to fund its annual grant program. A committee of trustees reviews grant applications two times per year and determines which projects will be funded. Trustees also serve on committees such as community relations, fund development and governance. Terms on the Board last four years, and many trustees serve multiple terms, including some who have served since the founding. The Board's year culminates with its annual President's Breakfast in the Spring. CVEF activities are also supported by numerous volunteers, who serve on committees and assist in organizing Foundation events such as the Golf Classic and Derby Day.
