The mission of the Iroquois School District Foundation is to enhance the educational opportunities for all District students, Kindergarten through Grade 12. The Foundation seeks to accomplish this purpose by developing imaginative and creative partnerships with educators, with the financial support of alumni and friends.

For the past year, the District office has worked diligently to create a formal 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization within the school system. The newly formed Iroquois School District Foundation will allow more and varied funding to be sought for special projects, curriculum and other needs. The Foundation opens the doorway to funding such as:

• Funds for innovative projects that normally would not qualify for support
• Contributions from private foundations and corporate donors who are unable to fund public
  schools but can give to 501(c)3 organizations.
• Alumni and community gifts that are fully tax deductible.

Efforts are under way to secure local business support, alumni contributions and community funds to maintain supplemental educational opportunities for District students. The Foundation is managed by a dedicated board of directors from the community.
