What is the Skyline School Foundation?
We are parent volunteers and donors joining together to improve education at Skyline School.

How does the Foundation Improve Education?
The Foundation is the only parent organization that can directly fund additional staffing for Skyline School. We help pay for needed educators when public funding falls short. The first $10k raised is 100% dedicated to Skyline School. Two-thirds of additional funds raised stay at Skyline School, while the remaining third goes to our umbrella organization, FundForPPS (FFPPS) (https://fundforpps.org/). FFPPS sends these funds to the PPS Equity Fund, where it is used to fund education improvements district-wide.

What has the Foundation been able to do in the past?
The Skyline School Foundation became active in 2001-02 and has been continuously providing for additional school staff. Over the years the Foundation has funded Spanish teachers, PE teachers, Educational Assistants, Elementary and Middle School teachers.

How does the Foundation raise the funds to do this?
Individual donors make tax-deductible donations. Many local employers match including Daimler, Intel, Nike, Techtronix and others. Check with your HR department to find out if your company matches donations.

Budget your giving by becoming a Sustaining Circle donor. Make recurring donations through the Fund for PPS website. Go to FFPPS donate 

Our biggest fundraiser is the Annual School Auction, usually held in early March.
