About CRSF
The Cutten • Ridgewood Student Foundation The history and mission of CRSF. The Cutten • Ridgewood Student Foundation was founded several years ago to help offset state budget cuts. A group of concerned parents, staff and community members joined together and began fundraising. Money raised went to programs and projects that the students and schools needed but could not afford to maintain.

Over the years the Foundation became dormant after the California State Budget Stabilized. In 2010 it became apparent that our schools would again be facing severe budget cuts. Programs such as music, GATE, physical education, and hours for the library and computer lab were in jeopardy. The parents and faculty met to discuss ways to help limit the impact of the current state budget crisis. It was suggested that CRSF be revived. Many parents and faculty volunteered to help raise funds to try and avoid cuts to the vital programs that make the district unique. Unfortunately, our PE program was cut from the 2010-2011 budget.
Following that meeting the CRSF has revived with new board members and invigorated enthusiasm to maintain programs and staff that directly impact the students. The parents and the community have rallied to help us raise the funds to maintain the excellent level of education students receive. Since April 2010, we have donated $159,300 after raising money through the following fundraisers:
- The annual Great Escape Gala
- Scrip and eScrip programs
- Oyster/Tri-tip BBQ
- Rummage Sales
- Various Restaurant Take Overs
- Community and parent donations
The Cutten • Ridgewood Student Foundation gave $10,000 to the Cutten • Ridgewood School District for the 2010-2011 budget. The foundation gave the district $35,000 for the 2011-2012 budget. In 2012-2013 we donated $47,000 to the district.
