In 1983, the Rim of the World Educational Foundation (ROTWEF) was established as a non-political, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing continuing financial support to preserve and encourage educational excellence in the Rim of the World Unified School District (ROWUSD).
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID): Since 2009, funding supports AVID students to increase college-going rates among students who are disenfranchised from the system to date, 100% of graduating seniors have been were accepted to a four-year university.
Career Technical Education/Regional Occupational Program (CTE/ROP): In 2015, the Foundation expanded its focus on college and career readiness to include CTE/ROP at Rim High School providing a variety of career education programs to prepare over 700 high school students for employment and/or advanced education and training.
Partnerships with Schools Education Grants: Formerly Education Grants, in 2017 the Foundation changed its€™s funding formula to a per student basis in an effort to serve all students at all six of the Rim of the World Unified District schools. Grants provide support for educational programming, technology, field trips, special equipment and professional development.
The Foundation obtains funding to support these programs from three sources: fundraising, grant writing, and endowment income.
The fundraisers include an annual Spring Event, the winter Rotary-sponsored Go Jump in the Lake, Bowling for Education, and Giving Tuesday Fund Drive.
Local community financial support has been generously provided by many organizations such as the Rotary Clubs, Soroptimists, Board of Realtors, Mountain Jewish Community, the Senior Groups, and from teachers, administrators, and support staff in the school district through authorized payroll deductions.
Considerable grant funding has been received from well-known supporters such as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Edison International, Bank of America, SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, San Bernardino County Supervisors, Burrtec Waste Management, and The Community Foundation.
