We Fund Great Ideas!

Every day teachers and staff of the Carson City School District work very hard to bring the best to our children. When they see a need, to often they have to take money out of their own pockets to make a great idea reality. Through the generous donations of individuals, businesses, and charitable foundations in our community, we fund innovative ideas that are not normally supported through the traditional education budget. Here’s another way of looking at it (click here).

A Little History

In 2015 a group of individuals from the community created a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation to support the Carson City School District’s goal of increasing student achievement through community philanthropic investment and involvement.  Serving at the pleasure of the superintendent and the school board, the Carson City Schools Foundation’s leadership works to be a vehicle for community investment in innovative ideas that traditional funding sources can’t support.

As a result of our community’s generosity, from 2016 through 2023 the foundation has donated $201,387 for classroom projects, student aid, department projects, school projects, new teacher support, the Jump Start Program and Advanced Placement exams. Click here for a summary of all foundation awards since 2015.

This project is one of the many results of the “Empower Carson City 2017″ strategic plan – a five-year strategic plan built by the community for creating extraordinary schools, and renewed in 2022 as “Empower Carson City 2027“.

Please view the short video below to learn more about the Foundation and our work. Also, explore this website to learn more about what we have accomplished so far, how we achieve our goals, and how you can join us as a donor and become a champion of innovative education.
