The Dave Karlin SchoolForce Endowment Fund

Providing Stable Long-Term Funding for our Schools

SchoolForce is proud to introduce The Dave Karlin SchoolForce Endowment Fund, the new official name for SchoolForce’s board-designated endowment fund, effective June 12, 2018.

The Dave Karlin SchoolForce Endowment Fund is SchoolForce’s sole quasi-endowment, created to provide a lasting legacy for future Belmont-Redwood Shores students. Named after SchoolForce founder and inaugural Board President Dave Karlin, the fund is designed to provide an enduring and self-sustaining source of revenue for our excellent BRSSD schools.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation via a one-time donation, planned giving in your estate plan, or tribute donations in the form of cash and/or stock. Your support for enduring funding to continue the legacy of excellent education for the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District is appreciated
