Give: Invest in education
During the past school year, 1,053 Snohomish County students received help from the nonprofit group InvestED.
Principals and counselors disburse the InvestED funds by identifying students who need support for things such as field trips, calculators, lab fees, sports equipment, college testing and application fees, and music and art supplies.
The organization conducts annual fundraising campaigns and provides an opportunity for people to adopt a school of their choice. For a limited time, InvestED is matching a portion of donations to specific Snohomish County schools.
