Your donation will be applied to your States/Region’s Fair Share goals. Fair Share is the sharing of budgetary responsibility needed for the Council for Opportunity in Education to operate and is determined based on the relative number of TRIO projects in the state/region. The Council’s Board of Directors votes on the General Administrative Budget (GAB) of the Council. The GAB supports critical work of the Council not supported by outside grants. Fair Share goals are met through a combination of Regional Membership Dues; Institutional Membership Dues; Subscriptions; and Annual Giving Campaigns.

Our current Annual Giving Campaigns include:

** Your personal contribution donation is tax-deductible. **
** A tax letter will be sent to individuals who donate $250 or more. **
** COE is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization under the Internal Revenue Code. **
