2024–25 Goals

This year, the Foundation’s goal is to raise $150,000 to support the “Great Beginnings – Systems for Success” teacher training and development program at CFSD. State and federal funding, which had been in place for over 20 years, has been cut and is no longer available. Your donation to the Annual Fund will help ensure this critical program continues to receive funding.

Endowments

The Foundation has established two endowments to provide a multi-year source of funding for programs in our schools. Donations earmarked for these endowments are invested with the original principal left untouched and investment earnings available for enrichment.

Educational Excellence Endowment
Enables the Foundation to increase levels of funding and continue the depth and breadth of course offerings, class sizes and other program features that distinguish our schools with educational excellence.

Literacy and the Fine Arts Endowment
Built upon a matching donation from the Stocker Foundation, this endowment directs earnings to preservation and enhancement of programs in music, dance, drama, literacy and visual arts. In recent years, students who would benefit from additional reading support over the summer were offered classes through Community Schools at no cost because of the funding provided by this endowment.
