About
The Spring Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) is dedicated to academic success at Spring Valley High School for every student at every level. Established in 1983, it is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, tax exempt organization with a solid 30 year track record. It is governed by an active volunteer Board of Directors composed of corporate, civic, educational, alumni and parent leaders.
The Spring Valley Education Foundation aims to raise funds and promote educational programs by donating goods, services, and money from corporations, business groups, foundations, and individuals. The SVEF acts as a fiscal agent for donors who wish to sponsor particular projects or programs. It administers both "designated" and unrestricted gifts.
The Spring Valley Education Foundation has been tremendously successful in its efforts. Fund-raising projects have netted over three-quarters of a million dollars in the past ten years. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts-in-kind have been infused into the school. This community-based effort can provide the "extras" unavailable through tax dollars. The exceptional environment made possible by this support has helped this award-winning high school to excel and recently be named among the best in the nation by Newsweek Magazine and the Siemens Foundation.
Gifts to or through the Spring Valley Education Foundation may be made by clicking on the Donate Now button above or a check payable to 'SVEF ' and sent to SV Education Foundation, 120 Sparkleberry Lane, Columbia, SC 29229. Please indicate if it is "unrestricted" or name the program or group (for example, "Annual Fund") to which it should be directed.
