The Saxon Success Fund (SSF) provides support to South Salem High School through strategic fundraising and investment.  Funds will be raised for specific projects that have the greatest impact on the success of all Saxon students.  Different from the parent-led booster groups that raise money for year to year expenses, SSF will invest in ways that positively impact students now and in the future.

 

Since beginning in 2019, the SSF has awarded 70 scholarships and opened the new Celia's College and Career Center in the South High Library. SSF is now planning future projects and receiving applications for 2024-25 school year scholarships. 

​​

Beginning in 2024, SSF donors are eligible to make a matching donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust and receive a 100% tax credit for their Trust donation (up to $500 for an individual, $1,000 for a couple filing jointly and $2,500 for a Class-C Corporation). A full explanation of this benefit is described on the Trust's website: https://www.culturaltrust.org/ 

​

Donors have options for giving to a variety of funds within the SSF:

​

• 10x10 Alumni Challenge: a challenge campaign to generate donors from each South Salem graduating class, and you can help us by sharing our effort with your classmates. We are seeking graduates from each class to serve as 10x10 Representatives who will secure commitments from nine other classmates to give $10 per month. Learn more here.
