1. How is the Foundation different from already-existing fundraising organizations?

Our community is lucky to have so many dedicated parents and community members who give their time to create effective school organizations like Booster Club, Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), and more. The Education Foundation focuses on large-scale projects and initiatives that create a broader, long-lasting impact by enhancing classroom spaces, providing more or newer materials and resources, and funding experiential learning opportunities that extend beyond the traditional classroom space.

2. How will my donation be used?

At this time, the Foundation is accepting “grant applications” from Interstate 35 teachers and staff. These applications will outline the monetary need along with the benefit of their program and/or initiative. Examples of projects that could be addressed in the future include: I-35 Greenhouse and Garden enhancements, new ovens for the culinary arts classroom, purchase of instruments to be available for young band members, and others.

3. Can I complete a tax write-off for my donation?

Yes. The Foundation is considered a 501(c)(3) organization – or, a nonprofit. Upon making your donation the Foundation, request a receipt of your gift and one will be provided for your tax purposes.

4. Do I need to make one large donation, or can I break up my donation over multiple months?

The Foundation will accept your donation however you choose to make it available. Donors are able to write a one-time check (or make a one-time online payment), or can give monthly to our organization. Individuals or families who wish to consider the Interstate 35 Education Foundation in their estate planning are encouraged to contact a board member for additional details.

 5. Can I be involved with Foundation without being a board member?

Yes! Community members who wish to help with the planning and execution of fundraising events – without the commitment of a three-year board term – are encouraged to reach out to a board member for more details. The Foundation welcomes all community engagement as we work together to build on our foundation.
