Ways To Give
Take Stock in Children, the flagship program of the Monroe County Education Foundation, provides Florida Prepaid college scholarships upon high school graduation to qualified 6th-12th grade Monroe County public school students residing in low-income households. TSIC Monroe is an award-winning model in the State of Florida, a concerted endeavor consisting of over 300 dedicated volunteer mentors and students with a network of individual donors, corporate sponsors and a hardworking staff.
We could not exist without our donors. A donation of $20,329 – together with the 100% State match – will pay all tuition and local fees for 4 college years, and dormitory housing for 2 years for one Monroe County student and forever changing their lives.
There are financial benefits to giving as well. Monroe Education Foundation is a recognized charity, and as such, your gift is likely tax-deductible. You should contact your tax advisor for specific information about the tax benefits of charitable giving. There are also some giving vehicles that offer other financial benefits.
