2026 Foundation Friends

 

The Columbia Education Foundation (CEF) was founded in 2006 with the express mission of supporting the Columbia Borough School District and community.  Every year, the Foundation has provided scholarships, mini-grants, field trips for students and other forms of support because it has been blessed by the incredible generosity of many people, organizations, and businesses.  The 2026 FOUNDATION FRIENDS list will be updated monthly and published on our website through December 31, 2026. The Columbia Education Foundation respectfully seeks your support as we raise funds this year to support our teachers and students during the 2026-2027 school year.

Thank you as always for your abiding faith and trust.  Contributions can be made through the following:
