How
Does the Foundation Work?
The Foundation serves as a way in which citizens and organizations
may impact the quality of educational opportunities in McPherson.
By pooling tax deductible donations, the Foundation will provide a
fund for strengthening public schools to enhance McPhersons
future.
Funds are used exclusively to support a variety of educational experiences
in the classroom, for programs which directly benefit students and
which support the school improvement efforts of the school and district.
Funds in no way replace state or local funds for school operating
expenses. They are not used for teachers salaries.

What
is this Foundation?
The Foundation is based on the concept that public education can be
endowed in the same method as higher education through a broad-based
system of local community support. The Foundation became a private,
nonprofit organization under Articles of Incorporation adopted May
29, 1990.
The original impetus for starting the Foundation came from a group
who believed that the quality of life in a community is directly related
to the quality of its educational system. The trustees, comprised
of a cross section of the community, is the governing body of the
McPherson Unified School District Community Education Foundation.

What
Can You Do?
The Foundation provides a way for you to help improve the quality
of education above and beyond the regular academic funding from the
state. Your contribution stays in McPherson and is used to directly
benefit local students.
We are proud of our programs which receive significant public
funding. The foundation allows us to provide additional benefits for
students.

Board
of Trustees

of a cross section of McPherson, including educators and individuals
from the community. The board is responsible for the direction and
activities of the Foundation.
