Our work and the educational programs we fund are guided by our core values:

Community and Collaboration
Joy and Creativity
Innovation and Responsiveness
Integrity and Transparency
Caring and Dedication
Advocacy and Expertise

Guided by our values, each year, we strive to achieve the following in our efforts to support all students.

Raise funds to enhance public education
Provide opportunities for all students to shine
Provide learning enrichment
Showcase student talent
Respond to unique educational needs
Foster a love of learning
Encourage innovation and creativity
Champion inclusion across all schools
Engage the community as partners

The money that we raise supports educational programs for Novato students and sponsors local events that showcase their talents. We also develop partnerships with local businesses and organizations that support our public schools.

Hundreds of adults and students participate each year in School Fuel programs as volunteers. The School Fuel volunteers work hard, have fun, and would welcome more help. Together, parents, students, and community members can make a significant difference in the lives of Novato’s young people and the vitality of this community.

Together we can significantly impact the lives of over 7,000 students in Pre-K through grade 12.
