Founded in 1983, the Catalina Foothills School District Foundation is an independent, 501c3, non-profit organization which provides support to the Catalina Foothills Unified School District 16. Until 1998, the Foundation focused on teacher-initiated projects in the classroom, such as library books, math materials, telescopes, drama, and fine arts equipment. Since 1998, the Foundation has focused on raising funds to support educators through mentorship and professional development.

Vision
Our vision is that CFSD schools will have the resources they need through both public and private funding to provide world-class educational opportunities to our students. We seek the involvement of all District families, residents and businesses in giving of their time, talent and financial support to make this vision a reality.

The CFSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, managed by an all volunteer Board of Trustees. The Foundation Board seeks to engage CFSD families as well as District 16 residents and businesses in supporting our mission. The Board utilizes a number of means to engage the CFSD community, including participation in back-to-school events, holding a community-building event each Fall, continual fundraising efforts, and by hosting the CFSD Teacher of the Year program annually.
