What is the Fulton Public Schools Foundation?
We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. This allows us to accept nonpublic funding to assist with specific school district programs and projects. We were established in 2003 to secure resources to enhance educational opportunities for Fulton students. While our sole purpose is to support the Fulton Public Schools, we are a separate organization with our own governing board.
What is our mission?
The Fulton Public Schools Foundation is an independent non-profit organization providing financial support to enhance the educational experience in the Fulton Public Schools.
What are our goals?
We seek to establish self-sustaining endowment funds and annual funds to be used to support projects designed to enrich the quality of education for Fulton students. We work with Fulton School District teachers and administrators to identify the areas of greatest need. Typical projects include, but not be limited to: Grants to educators for innovative classroom or schoolwide projects and classroom equipment grants.
How can you help?
The Foundation Board extends an invitation to all Fulton Public Schools alumni and friends to help our efforts to support quality education for our students.
