The Foundation seeks partnership with those who wish to support its funds, general endowment or donations for specific projects of the donor's choice, which meet standards set by the Board of Trustees and are not discriminatory. Please contact one of the Foundation's Board members or the USD #397 Board of Education Office if you would like to discuss specific projects or would like to include the Foundation in your estate planning.
