Happy Holidays!
Warm Holiday Wishes from Children First Education Fund! As we approach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to send our warmest holiday wishes to you and your family. This season is often a time for reflection, rest, and togetherness, and we hope it brings moments of joy, peace, and connection to your home. We are deeply grateful to each family in the CFEF community. Your trust, partnership, and commitment to your child’s education inspire us every day. It is an honor to support your educational choices, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you in the year ahead
CFEF Family Surveys
If you haven’t already, we invite you to take a few minutes to complete our CFEF family survey. Your feedback helps us better understand what’s working well and where we can continue to improve our programs and support for families. Please note that there are two separate surveys — one for private school families and one for homeschool families — so be sure to select the survey that best reflects your educational setting. Each family should only complete one survey, one time. If you’ve already submitted a response, thank you — there’s no need to complete it again. Surveys will close at the end of the year, so we encourage you to share your feedback soon if you haven’t already. We truly value your input and appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with us. Your voice plays an important role in shaping our work.
REMINDER: Submission History
We’ve noticed an increase in duplicate receipt submissions recently. If you’re not sure whether a receipt has already been uploaded, we encourage you to check your submission history before submitting again. This quick step helps reduce delays and allows our team to process reimbursements as efficiently as possible. As always, thank you for your help and partnership!
Website Chatbot for Families
We’re excited to introduce a new chatbot feature on our website to help answer your questions quickly and easily. The chatbot is available on the Parent Pages and can assist with common questions anytime you need support. You can find the chatbot in the bottom right corner of the Parent Pages, or by clicking “Help” in the top right corner to access it. We hope this new tool makes it easier to get the information you need, when you need it.
REMINDER: Eligible Expenses
We’d like to remind families that gift card purchases, donations, and tips are not eligible for reimbursement. When submitting receipts, please be sure to exclude these amounts so we can process your request as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding and for helping keep the reimbursement process running smoothly.
