Mission

THE DISTRICT 214 EDUCATION FOUNDATION SUPPORTS STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH SCHOOL AND THROUGHOUT LIFE BY STRENGTHENING EDUCATION, FOSTERING WELL-BEING, AND EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES. WE BELIEVE STRONG SCHOOLS BUILD STRONG COMMUNITIES, BUT ALSO BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS TO ENSURE THAT LEARNERS WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS ARE PREPARED FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, AND LIFE SUCCESS. THE FOUNDATION WORKS TO SECURE AND PAIR FUNDING AND RESOURCES WITH NEEDS, CONTINUALLY EVALUATING THE NEEDS WITHIN DISTRICT 214 SCHOOLS AND THE EVOLVING PRIORITIES WITHIN EDUCATION. COLLECTIVELY, FOUNDATION TRUSTEES SERVE AS AMBASSADORS OF OUR MISSION, AND THE BOARD AND FOUNDATION STAFF WORK WITH SCHOOLS TO BOLSTER RELATIONSHIPS AND CREATE INNOVATIVE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND SHAPE NEW PROGRAMS THAT ENSURE COLLEGE, CAREER AND LIFE READINESS. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FOUNDATION IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
