Education happens
within the context of a larger community. The Education Legacy Fund approach extends beyond the school to help ensure lifelong learning for all ages by providing the necessary support to do their best learning.
Our focus is on creating a sustainable and inclusive learning ecosystem that not only benefits students within the school system but also extends to the wider community. This approach has been shown to have a significant impact on personal and professional growth, offering a more holistic support system that empowers everyone strive for and achieve their best learning outcomes.
The longer term objectives
include the growth of our legacy fund to ensure longer term funding that spans multiple generations. To this end, the Education Legacy Fund is soliciting funds from estate plans, legacy funds, community generosity and grant making by institutions. We are very appreciative of the generosity of several local families who have already made significant contributions to our fund. We are also thrilled with a $250,000 donation in 2025 as seed money toward our endowment goals.
