Lynchburg City Schools Education Foundation

Education Foundation

The Lynchburg City Schools Education Foundation, Inc. was established in 1985 as an endowment institution. The Foundation accepts financial support from individuals and businesses for selected projects and programs which are consistent with the goals and priorities of the Lynchburg City School Board.

Foundation funds are used to offer enhancing and enriching educational opportunities for all students and are not intended to replace public revenues which are necessary to provide ongoing educational programs of high quality for school-age children of the city. Contributions are used by the Foundation to fund programs such as the annual Teacher Grant Program, Corporate-Sponsored Teacher Grant Program, Crayons to Computers and recognition awards that are not part of the school division's regular operating budget. Annually, the Foundation awards more than $18,000.00 in grant money to division teachers who submit grant applications which demonstrate innovative and effective ways to meet student needs and increase motivation to learn.

The Education Foundation, Inc. depends on community support to maintain a variety of innovative and creative education programs and projects as well as an opportunity for parents and patrons to demonstrate their continued support and investment in the Lynchburg City Schools. The Board of Trustees seeks your help in this fund raising effort and appreciates your consideration of financial support for the Foundation.
