Get Involved

RCEF's success depends heavily on the generous contributions of our supporters. Your donation will provide direct assistance towards teacher professional development, new curriculum, libraries and reading programs, and more.

100% of your donations will be used towards our programs and thus directly contribute to improving the quality of education in rural China. (Operational costs and overhead are low and fully covered by grants.)

Your donation will be honored on our online donor list unless requested otherwise. All US donations are 100% tax-deductible.

Google Checkout (Credit Card, Debit Card)

Google Checkout has no transaction fees so we recommend you use Google Checkout if possible.

PayPal (Credit Card, Debit Card or Bank Transfer)

 

PayPal is an easy and secure method of making payments online using your debit card, credit card, or bank account. PayPal accepts a wide range of currencies. For non-US debit/credit card donations, your donation acknowledgement will include a conversion to your currency. Click on the icon below:
