Enhancing the educational needs of students, teachers, and administration since 1989.
The Foothill Education Foundation, most commonly called the Ed Fund, was founded in 1989 by a group of Foothill families with the mission to provide Foothill High School with the financial support needed to maintain, enrich and expand the school's educational programs. Today, the Ed Fund operates as a non-profit, charitable organization managed by a group of parent volunteers of currently enrolled FHS students.
What does the Ed Fund do?
Thanks to the generous support of people like you, we are able to allocate upwards of $200,000 annually for specific use by requesting Foothill departments and school groups. The majority of money collected each school year is allocated by June of that same year. Click HERE to see how donations have been used in the past.
To achieve our mission, the Ed Fund traditionally raises dollars through two yearly fundraising events: The Contributors Campaign in the fall and a dinner-auction in the spring.
This year, your donations will continue to contribute to many improvements projects and academic programs at Foothill. Donations will go toward educational support materials for all subject areas, elective classes, and classrooms; ongoing support for college and career counseling, and staff professional development. Your Ed Fund donations go directly to teachers and students and your generosity will make a measurable and positive impact on our students’ experience at Foothill High School.
How can you help?
From the $40 tax deductible donation that buys books for classrooms to the $1,000 donation that helps pay for overhead projectors and the school-wide subscription to turnitin.com, every donation makes a difference for your student! Your donation to the Ed Fund will help provide these important items and fill many other education gaps caused by reduced academic funding.
