What does your donation help support?
TEACHER SUPPORT
Teachers are the acknowledged education professionals and the linchpin to better outcomes for students. We design initiatives and provide high-quality recognition programs to honor their expertise and elevate the value in which our community holds them. Your gift is a tangible way to show your support for teachers across the continuum. Together, we can advocate for them, champion them, and lift them up.
STUDENT SUPPORT
Students are a third of our population but 100% of our future. Fostering a lifelong love of learning and preparing them for life require that we equip them with the skills, knowledge, and abilities to navigate an unknown future that is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Your gift will provide a front-row position for our K-12 students – our leaders of tomorrow – and will encourage them to reach their highest potential.
Do you accept the challenge?
It’s been a year now since the world as we knew it changed dramatically. The losses and struggles of the pandemic have impacted the lives of every one of us this past year, especially our students and teachers.
As we move into the home stretch of this academic year, students continue to return to their school campuses, high school seniors are cautiously planning end of year activities, and teachers are slowly getting vaccinated. It’s been a tumultuous year, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. There’s also no doubt that the effects of COVID will be felt for some time to come.
On behalf of the Education Foundation of Sarasota County board of directors and staff, we want to thank all the donors who have helped us get through this unprecedented year. Because of you, our community and the students, teachers, and families we serve have received the crucial help they needed, and they are moving forward. We have enclosed a brief synopsis of the impact you made in response to COVID. Thank you!
But, our work is not yet done.
To help us cross the finish line this year and provide the necessary support for students and teachers, we invite you to participate in a 24-hour Education Foundation Giving Day scheduled on April 15.
Join us in reaching our goal of $200,000 in our Finish Strong Challenge.
