Olympia School District Education Foundation

Helping Students Succeed

The Olympia School District Education Foundation provides a variety of programs and activities to make sure every student has the tools he or she needs to succeed -- in school and in life. We award grants to teachers, and fund the Principals Emergency Checkbook Fund, Outdoor Education Program, and Science & Math Learning Initiative.

Since 1998, the Foundation has awarded nearly $400,000 through all schools in the Olympia School District.

The Foundation, a non-profit IRS 501(c)(3) organization, raises money through contributions and events. Contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

WHAT'S NEW?

Grant applications now being accepted for the 2013-14 school year.

*****

What a successful year! OSDEF has allocated just about all of our $22,000 grant budget for the year.

We've supported supplemental reading materials; new science kits; field trips for the arts and science; individualized tutoring for struggling students; life and social skills activities for developmentally disabled youth; foreign language software and much, much more!

Teachers, please note that we will not be accepting additional grants at this time. You've used what we have for the year in wonderful ways! There will be more again in our next budget cycle.

Thank you, everyone!
