How You Can Help
The Foundation's work is constantly expanding to take on new challenges and to bring new opportunities to our public schools, teachers and students. But as we grow, we recognize that there is much more work to be done. Investing in The Foundation and its initiatives is an investment in our future...our children!
Planned Giving
Please consider The Foundation For Lee County Public Schools in your estate planning
License for Learning
Purchase a "Support Education" license plate. Show the community that you support the students and teachers in our public schools. Each time a Lee County resident purchases or renews a "Support Education" license plate, $20.00 is donated to The Foundation.
Volunteer
The Foundation has several programs that require time and effort to manage. Volunteer services are always needed. Whether it be for preparing for a program or lending a helping hand during the night of a Foundation event, your assistance will always be valued.
Mentor
Take Stock in Children is a unique scholarship program as it matches middle and high school scholarship recipients with adult community mentors. Students who have mentors are proven to have a higher academic success rate than those students who do not meet with a mentor. There are many scholars who need an adult in their lives. Show a student that you care about their future and they will show you how much they do!
Teacher Resource Center
The Teacher Resource Center is a program that allows educators free access to new and reusable supplies to use in their classroom. Teachers love this program, it gives them what they need to prepare their students and they do not have to reach into their own pockets to make it happen. Consider donating items from your business and/or home that you are no longer using. Our teachers and students can put them to good use.
Scholarships
Purchase a scholarship for a student. An investment of $6,000 will purchase a four year college tuition scholarship for a Take Stock in Children Scholar. An investment of $1,500 will purchase a Carson Scholars Fund Scholarship. An investment of $30,000 will endow an elementary school with the Carson Scholars Fund Scholarship, meaning a student from that school will receive a scholarship each year in perpetuity.
