Would you like to support CEF but are unsure of how you can do this without making an upfront donation or contribution? A great way to do this is to commit either a dollar amount or percentage of each sale to CEF. This can be a small amount, and can be done as part of a one-off campaign or on a regular basis. Whatever option you choose, CEF will assist in promoting and advertising your support and business through traditional and social media avenues.
Below are just some of the ways that companies, both small and large, are contributing to CEF to get you thinking. Have you got a great idea of your own? Then please, get in touch!

Having both grown up in regional areas, access to resources and education for all has been a strong focus for us. We believe in education for everyone and believe that all students have the right to shine. We have seen the incredible job and success stories made possible by CEF and we wanted a charity with real people and real results. One that we could form a partnership with and contribute to the wonderful work.
