Critical Needs & Got No Milk

Did you know that children in all 23 Fargo Public Schools qualify for free and reduced meals? Some schools have enrollment as high as 78 percent and 14 of the 23 schools had an increase in the number of students eligible for free and reduced meals. This means that many families are struggling to make ends meet.

The Critical Needs Fund is an annual fundraising effort organized by the Fargo Public Schools Foundation to ensure that each and every student who needs help with basic needs receives support.

Annual contributions to the Critical Needs Fund help individual schools identify students most in need. Currently over 3,000 students need financial assistance of some kind. Your donation can be designated to the following categories: 

  • Got No Milk (Mid-Morning Milk)
  • Critical Needs/supplies, clothing, transportation
  • Great Plains Food Bank Backpack Program
  • Greatest Need This Year

The Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization and gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible.  The Foundation is supported with donations from FPS alumni, parents, district employees, service clubs, businesses, and the general community.  Please also consider the Foundation for memorial/honorarium gifts and with planned gifts or bequests.

Your gift can be made online using our secure web page Click here to donate to the Critical Needs/Got No Milk Program.  Both credit card and e-check donations can be made on this page.

After you complete your purchase, an e-mail confirmation and receipt will immediately be sent to you.
