Gold Beach Educational Fund

The Gold Beach Educational Fund was originally started over 15 years ago with generous contributions from the Charles and Effa Sage Foundation and other Sage Family members. The Foundation is now also supported by gifts from local contributors.

The Foundation is guided by a Board of local residents with a demonstrated history of serving the educational needs of our youth.

Over the years, hundreds of Gold Beach High School students have received financial assistance in the form of scholarships or support for academic, leadership or fine arts learning opportunities.

Board of Directors

The Gold Beach Educational Foundation are members of the community who have taken on the responsibility of soliciting financial contributions to be awarded to students of the Gold Beach school system for furthering educational opportunities that are not available at the schools themselves. This includes programs for Riley Creek and Gold Beach High School students, as well as scholarships for graduating seniors. Scholarships can also be given to post-graduate students when money is made available for that purpose.

The Gold Beach Education Fund is managed by a board of directors made up of dedicated volunteers:

Jocelyn Ringer, Secretary
Dale Thomas, Treasurer
Steve Denney
Paul Renner
Bill Stuart

Student Experience

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your donations that are giving continuing education students a little extra help during this hard economic time. With funding for higher education being cut more and more every year it is becoming harder to receive financial aid and finding a job that will work around your school schedule is difficult.
