programs

The heart of an education foundation is the programs it supports. As a conduit for community investment in the local school district, foundations must prioritize programs that align with district needs and community interests. When programs inspire enthusiasm and demonstrate impact, they naturally drive greater donor support and community involvement.

• Prioritize mission-driven programming. With so many worthwhile initiatives to fund, it’s easy to drift from your core purpose. Regularly revisit your mission statement to ensure funding priorities stay aligned.
