The Rockingham Educational Foundation recognizes that Educators in our public schools form relationships with their students, and are sometimes the closest connection between a student in need and community resources that address that need. For this reason, we are pleased to announce a new program initiative called YES Cards. YES Cards can help educators say “yes” to a student in need.
Thanks to Rockingham County in partnership with The Community Foundation of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, REFI received a grant in the amount of $15,000 to support this program in the Fall of 2020 and an additional $1,700 in the Spring of 2021. 

Applications for YES Cards will be submitted by school administrators and counselors based on feedback from teachers, social workers, nurses,  etc. who have identified a need for a student. Funding up to $100 will be given in the  form of gift cards to help with the cost of personal care items, school supplies, utility bills, food access, and other needs as identified. 

The confidential application will be reviewed by a team of knowledgeable foundation members and RCPS staff. Once the request is accepted, REFI will purchase gift cards from local businesses or provide funding as necessary to fulfill the need in the best way possible while working directly with either the school counselor or administrator. All funding must be spent by March 31, 2021, so we are asking that requests be made by March 26, 2021. 

If you will be submitting an application for multiple students at one time, please complete the form ​  found here.
