About the Clarkstown Education Foundation

The not-for-profit Clarkstown Education Foundation raises money to enhance and expand educational opportunities for the students of the Clarkstown Central School District through community-wide participation and philanthropy.

Why a Foundation now? With the escalating costs of core services and the rapid changes in instructional technology, it has become increasingly difficult to:

• Fund innovative educational programs that enrich the educational experience;
• Provide the most up-to-date technologies in our classrooms; and
• Manage the rising costs of a college education for students and their parents.

The Foundation is a way to help meet these needs.

The foundation will fund programs, scholarships, and technological advances via contributions, proceeds from fund-raising activities, and grant monies. No taxpayer dollars will be used.

A high performing school system with a proven record of success, the Clarkstown Central School District educates approximately 9400 students from grades kindergarten through grade 12th in 10 elementary schools, a middle school, two senior high schools, and a school for those with special needs. The Foundation is a way to provide financial resources to augment the excellent work already underway in our schools.

How can I become involved? The Clarkstown Education Foundation will only succeed through the support of our local community. You can participate by:

• Making tax-deductible contributions to the Clarkstown Education Foundation. (Tax-exempt status for the non-profit Foundation is pending.)
• Attending and supporting Foundation events
• Volunteering time to help organize fund-raising and Foundation events
• Contributing goods or services pro-bono
