Designing a Strong Foundation...
The San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF) funds core and innovative programs that support teachers, music, counselors and other programs that would otherwise be curtailed or eliminated due to lowered state funding. SCEF raises millions of dollars every year and provides approximately 6% of the district's annual budget. As new families enter the school system, it is imperative that the SCEF message and brand resonates with donors so these essential programs remain funded.
The Needs
Create messaging that underscores the need to pay for public schools.
Designs that highlight the variety of essential programs made possible by donating to SCEF.
Empower parent volunteers to create professional and consistent brand materials.
Consistency in Collaboration
From the first annual report design in 2013, my partnership with SCEF remains strong. All parties involved are committed to building, evolving and maintaining consistent messaging and design solutions to support strong schools in our community.

The Results: A Strong Brand Foundation
As funding needs increase year after year, professional, consistent and well-designed marketing materials become more important than ever. For over a decade, I have collaborated with SCEF to build and evolve their brand. I am proud to support this important cause and know we have built a solid brand that will carry the organization forward for years to come.
