What Is the ISD 197 Foundaton?
We are parents, teachers and community members united to invest in educational opportunities that promise the brightest possible future for Independent School District 197 students. We are committed to the belief that no bright child should be left unchallenged and no struggling child should go without extra help.
Our vision is to broaden the educational experience of students from Early Learning through grade 12 in District 197 in order to help them build successful lives in which they will continue to enrich our local and global communities. We will promote continued excellence and inspire innovation by:
• Generating funds to support programs, projects, and equipment
• Providing resources so that children are ready to learn by kindergarten
• Bridging the gap between government resources and education needs
• Promoting a spirit of community involvement, enthusiasm, and support
• Creating an endowment fund to secure support future generations
What does the ISD 197 Foundaton Fund?
Our goal is to raise funds for programs and activities not funded through customary public funding. All gifts to the Foundation allow for more creative ways for students to learn, supporting initiatives that range from enrichment to intervention. Gifts to the I.S.D. No. 197 Educational Foundation serve the interests of more than 4,600 students who attend its public schools.
Donations to the Foundation allow educators to apply for grants to offer new or extended learning opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable. They will fund special programs that will enhance and stimulate learning and they will enable our proud past to become our bold future.
