The Impact of Your Giving

Your gift matters.

Room & Board Scholarship

The Redwoods Room & Board Scholarship Fund supports CR students who are experiencing homelessness or who are housing insecure.  This scholarship provides semester grants so that these students can live in CR's residence halls and have a meal plan in the cafeteria.  The goal is to ensure these students have the opportunity to focus on their education rather than on their daily survival. 

College of the Redwoods was the first college in the nation to provide on campus housing and meal plans for its students experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness.

Your support means student success!

Dash of Color

College of the Redwoods hosts the annual “Dash of Color,” a community family fun event supporting the CR Foundation, as well as the football and track & field programs. This color run is a non-athletic, all ages event, where walkers/joggers/runners move through color stations where volunteers toss colored starch.  It’s not toxic, environmentally friendly, and a great deal of fun for all!  In April of 2016, over 500 participants enjoyed the event.
