Associate Trustee Position

The Board of Trustees wants to encourage younger members of the family to learn first-hand about the Foundation by directly participating in the grantmaking process. The Board has instituted a category of membership called an “Associate Trustee.” Up to one family member may serve in this capacity each year. An Associate Trustee may serve one additional year, at the discretion of the trustees. Through his/her work on the Board, the Associate Trustee will develop deeper knowledge of areas of grantmaking practices and program evaluation. It is hoped that the participation of an associate trustee will reinforce his/her commitment to community involvement, and deepen relationships with other trustees and with members of the non-profit community.

An associate trustee will be a full voting member of the board of trustees, except that “no associate trustee will be eligible to vote to extend his or her own term or to vote upon the appointment of a trustee, if the associate trustee is being proposed as a candidate” (from the bylaws).

About Rivet School

  • Rivet School (formerly Concourse Education) has redesigned college to meet the needs of traditionally underserved students. At Rivet School, students earn an accredited, job-focused bachelor’s degree in 2-3 years — while working full-time — and for less than $10,000 in total out-of-pocket cost.
  • Rivet School pairs a skills-focused online degree with real-world resources, including personal coaching, on-demand tutoring, coworking space, a free laptop, and more. Students earn credit whenever they master the material — whether that takes a week, a month, or a term. Tuition is $6,500 a year, but the average student covers around half of costs through Federal financial aid.

Noteworthy Success During Margoes Foundation VP Award Period

  • Rivet School launched in late 2018 and now serves over 100 students across eight California counties, and it has already produced its first bachelor’s degree graduates.
  • 93% of Rivet School’s students are Black or Latinx, 85% are first-generation college-going students, and 40% are parents or caregivers. The median Rivet School student is on track to earn their BA in 3.5 years, and its fastest students are completing their BA in under 2 years.
  • Rivet School works hand in hand with community partners to find and support students to college graduation, including the San Francisco and Oakland school districts, KIPP Bay Area, Rocketship Public Schools, College Track, the Contra Costa Community College District, Bay Area Community Resources, and many others.
  • In 2020, Rivet School launched the Pay it Forward program, an only-at-Rivet-School financing tool that allows students to pay no upfront tuition, and pay back only when students earn more than $40,000 per year.
