Corporate Relations & Sponsorship
LVEF Policy Statement

The Livermore Valley Education Foundation encourages support from corporate donors, sponsors, and partners. In return, we will willingly and enthusiastically recognize and publicize this support in every forum available to us. However, we do not endorse a product or service. This is necessary to protect our non-profit status and our credibility with our public support base. In other words, we can tell everyone about the wonderful things that our corporate supporters do for us, but we cannot tell anyone to buy their products or services.
