About The Circle
E.E. Smith Academic Excellence Giving Circle is a vehicle to promote excellence in E.E. Smith attendance area schools and to provide philanthropic support to improve math and science programs for these schools. Membership is comprised of men and women of all ages and backgrounds who are committed to enriching and improving the lives of youth in E.E. Smith attendance area schools. As a group, members will learn ways to make a lasting difference for E.E. Smith and support excellence in math and science. It is our vision that E.E. Smith attendance area schools will have a large, diverse, and committed community of individual and corporate givers. The E.E. Smith Academic Excellence Giving Circle is a component fund of Cumberland Community Foundation. All donated funds will be matched by Cumberland Community Foundation up to the first $50,000. Cumberland Community Foundation is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt, publicly supported organization serving Cumberland County and surrounding areas. Contributions are fully deductible to the extent permitted by law. Cumberland Community Foundation is audited annually by Haigh, Byrd & Lambert, LLP.
How it Works Members contribute $250 annually and commit to three years of membership. All contributions will be granted by the E.E. Smith Academic Excellence Giving Circle to projects and programs that promote excellence at E.E. Smith and its feeder schools. The three-year commitment encourages members to consider philanthropy a lifetime pursuit and allows E.E. Smith Academic Excellence Giving Circle to remain a stable source of funds for the benefit of E.E. Smith and its feeder schools.
