About Syracuse City School District Educational Foundation

---

 We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the creativity and passion of educators in our school district. Through grants, we provide funding for extracurricular projects and innovative ideas that go beyond the standard curriculum—initiatives that inspire students, strengthen school communities, and would not otherwise be possible. Our mission is to help teachers bring learning to life and give students opportunities to grow both in and out of the classroom. 

 For over 2 decades, the Foundation has promoted the enrichment of the Syracuse student experience, with the help and support of you, in this room. The Foundation supplements educational resources within all our city schools through our grant program. Partnering with local sponsors, we have distributed nearly 1 million in educational supplies since we began over 20 years ago. 

More than 400 grants have been awarded for a wide range of projects in and out of the classrooms, including gardening, music, local history and culture, technology and STEM labs. 

We believe our students deserve access to as many educational outlets as possible. And we are able to provide so many as a result of your support.
