We work closely with district staff, partner organizations, and the broader community to ensure that every student in SCUSD has access to a well-rounded and fulfilling school experience.

Four Focus Areas
We are inspired by the creativity and innovation we see in our public school classrooms. Whether it be through the arts, music, health centers, gardens, or STEAM programs we support, we are creating a better future for our students and for our community. The foundation focuses on programs that fall under four categories.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) Education
Helping students build the foundational skills to become productive contributors to the workforce and society of the future.
Student Equity
Easing the family burden of college affordability through creative scholarship programs. Giving high school students key fellowship experience.
The Family Resource Center
Investing in programs that support unhoused kids and their families, those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, English learners, and special education students.
Environmental Literacy & Sustainability
Building appreciation of nature and understanding of the challenges that will need to be met to address the impacts of climate change.
