Our Mission

The District 214 Education Foundation fuels opportunity and well-being for every student, believing that investments in wellness, creativity, exploration, and experiences in our schools strengthen our community tomorrow.

Our Impact

The District 214 Education Foundation exists to ensure that every student, regardless of circumstance, has access to the experiences, supports, and opportunities they need to thrive in school and beyond. Through the generosity of our donors and partners, we invest directly in students, schools, and the families in our community.

Career Pathways Fund

We have supported more than 1,000 students in accessing career-connected learning experiences by funding industry-specific tools, equipment, and pathway-aligned opportunities. These investments also help reduce barriers to college by offsetting the cost of AP exams and providing targeted scholarship support, expanding access while lowering financial burden for families.

Student Wellness Fund

We have helped hundreds of students meet essential needs by providing access to food, necessities, and emergency assistance. By addressing barriers outside the classroom, this fund ensures students are healthy, supported, and ready to learn.

Fine Arts Fund

Through investments in instruments, costumes, materials, and performance opportunities, we have encouraged hundreds of students to explore creative expression. These experiences build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging, cornerstones of a well-rounded education.

Classroom Innovation Fund

We fuel innovation by empowering educators to bring new ideas to life. Through hands-on learning and programs like Educator Innovation Grants, we spark curiosity, creativity, and exploration, enhancing student engagement across classrooms and disciplines.

Community Creating Opportunity

Our Students. Our Schools. Our Community.

Do you remember the first time someone believed in you more than you believed in yourself?

The first time you overcame a challenge that felt impossible?

The first time you realized your success was made possible because someone invested in you?

You can help create those moments for today’s students.

The District 214 Education Foundation brings our community together to invest in creativity, wellness, and opportunity—because when students are supported, schools thrive, and our community is stronger for it. Every gift helps remove barriers, open doors, and empower students to discover what’s possible.

Will you join us and help create opportunity for every student?
