I think it's fine.

Op here and I saw that, but it doesn’t answer how much of my dollar goes to paying off school debt. I’m just curious I know they are a legitimate charity.

Per the previous poster, 22 cents out of every dollar goes to overhead. One direct employee makes $125 K.

That's for the whole foundation, not this one program.

When did White Oak START serving free breakfast and lunch? "Debt" means PAST due.

I know meals have been free since at least the 2023-2024 school year. Possibly even earlier.

Anonymous wrote:I am also curious. I would like to donate on behalf of my organization, to a specific school, but don't see where online I have the option to do so. It's just the general donation fund. I also tried calling the number listed, 301-329-2238, and had no luck. Just a busy dial tone and it hangs up. Curios to know if OP or others have had any luck.

No accounting for how much of any gift goes to pay off debt. Could be zero.
Foundation pays for perks for MCPS administrators.
