establish an education foundation
As public school districts continue to face reductions in funding and pressure to do more with less, many are looking to establish a nonprofit education foundation for community engagement support and additional resources. Public school foundations are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations that work to enhance student achievement through supporting educational programs, the success of the district, and community awareness.
