Our History

The Santa Clara Schools Foundation (SCSF) is a non-profit public benefit corporation formed in 1992 to help enrich the education of the students in the Santa Clara Unified School District (SCUSD) by funding programs, projects, scholarships, and citizenship awards. Our structure allows us to provide essential resources and enrichment opportunities to every public school student in Santa Clara and the neighborhoods in Cupertino, San Jose, and Sunnyvale served by SCUSD.​

The Foundation is not supported by taxpayer dollars and donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
