Fund For Today
Designated Projects
Donate to this fund now.
This fund provides financial support for current needs of the students and staff in the Eau Claire Public Schools. The Board of Trustees of the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation determines the use of the funds, based on needs indicated by each school and by the district. Trustees allocate funds twice a year, in February and July. The allocation is based on the amount of funding available, the Foundation Board’s analysis of the current needs and the case for support made for those needs.
Designated Schools
Choose a school to donate to now.
Each school in the Eau Claire Area School District has a Fund for Today established by the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation in partnership with the Eau Claire Community Foundation. Donors may contribute to either fund at any time and may split their gift between the funds. The funds are governed by the policies established by the Board of Trustees of the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation.
The Fund for Today at each school helps the students and staff there with current needs. Donors may give to a specific project or program or may designate their gift for the purchase of equipment, services or supplies. Schools also have developed needs lists and have posted them here. The principal of each school, working with the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation, develops the lists and is also ultimately responsible for the use of philanthropic dollars at the school.
Donors may give gifts directly to the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation. The total value of the gift passed on to the school funds. Donor forms and additional information about giving opportunities are available here.
