THANK YOU!

 

We would like to thank the 116 Giving Hearts Day donors who gave $15,446 to help fund the Got No Milk program in Fargo Public Schools.

This will help us reach our annual goal of $69,000 needed to assist approximately 1,150 students to recieve mid-morning milk each school year.

 

Here are some “unedited” quotes from children who have  received milk through your donations in past years:

"Quality education is the key to our democracy."
Thomas Jefferson uttered these words more than two centuries ago, but they are still true today. The Fargo Public Schools Development Foundation was formally organized in 2000 with just this thought in mind: to provide enriched and enhanced learning opportunities that would otherwise not be possible. 

The FPS Development Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, governed by a Board of Directors that functions independently from the district and the Board of Education.  The Foundation does not fund programs or projects that should or could be funded with regular district resources.  Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible. 

We invite you to take some time to examine our site and learn more about our programs, our mission, our goals and how you can help.  Thanks for your interest in this important work!

Donations can be made using our secure online payment processing system. You can choose to pay by e-check or credit card.

Students in the Fargo Public School District deserve to receive the highest quality education possible.  Through corporate and individual donations, as well as planned gifts and bequests to the Foundation endowment fund, the Foundation supports a wide variety of programs and projects such as:

1)  Providing grants to teachers and schools for innovative learning projects which would otherwise not be possible.  Grants ranging from $500 - $2,500 are awarded in October and February of each year.  Since 2001, the Foundation has awarded 713 grants, totaling over $416,000 in funding.  See the grant section for further information about the program. 

2)  Coordinating the Adopt-A-School program that brings business employees and community organization members into the schools to assist with tutoring, mentoring, after-school programs, reading programs, clubs, and community service projects.  The program is a "win-win" scenario for students, school staff and the businesses or community organizations who are involved.  The Foundation currently monitors 28 partnerships.

3) Administration of over 20 scholarships that benefit graduating FPS students. The scholarships are funded with both annual and endowed gifts.

4) Building and maintaining an FPS alumni database (Fargo North, Fargo South and Woodrow Wilson graduates).  The database is used to assist with class reunions, alert graduates to special alumni events and for alumni communications. 

5)  Providing student essential need funds for children who need assistance with clothing, school supplies, bus transportation, morning milk money, and other school related expenses.

We invite you to take some time to examine our site and learn more about our programs, our mission, our goals and how you can help.  Thanks for your interest in this important work!
