Value of a K-12 Foundation
In today’s economic times, single source financing for schools and districts is no longer an option. Many economists, school leaders, and school finance researchers are encouraging the establishment, growth, and development of school foundations as a means of enhancing educational opportunities for a school’s students.

K-12 education foundations are known for achieving multiple benefits for the school or district they support:

• Enhancing and improving communication between the school or district and its respective community and alumni.

• Offering opportunities for community members to become involved with their local district through various volunteer activities and events.

• Recognizing and encouraging academic excellence with grants and gifts for classroom teachers and building administrators.

• Garnering a variety of resources and funds for the enhancement of educational opportunities for the children in the school district.
