Education Foundation Partners, LLC

Education Foundation Partners seek to support districts in  the creation and/or revitalization of educational foundations.

Our focus is on enhancing district success by leveraging flexible funding sources and empowering community engagement. 

OUR MISSION

Education Foundation Partners, LLC, is an organization dedicated to supporting school districts in the creation or revitalization of an education foundation.  As education needs continue to grow exponentially, additional funding streams are vital to the success of the district. 


Our mission is to help districts establish a flexible, locally governed 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation to serve as a sustainable source of funding for strategic growth and enhancement, to retain and reward faculty and staff, to support administrators and teachers to create and innovate, to provide student enrichment, and to increase community engagement. 


Education Foundation Partners, LLC provides end-to-end guidance—from legal setup and board MOUs and bylaws to promotional support and continuity planning. Our approach ensures the district retains control, builds trust with donors, and creates a lasting impact beyond traditional funding models.
