The USD #273 Board of Education has endorsed the incorporation of an endowment association to benefit the school district.

The Endowment Association has as its goals:

· to encourage funding that will support quality education within the school district;

· to create and maintain a permanent investment fund for the purpose of generating annual income;

· to sponsor innovative educational programs;

· to provide educational opportunities for district students and teachers;

· to supplement worthwhile district programs which cannot be sustained at the desired level by the current district budget;

· to foster communication, participation and support for the district's educational program through increased public awareness; and

· to administer scholarship programs.

The incorporators appointed an independent Board of Directors in June of 1996.  The Directors hold office for staggered three-year terms.  Ex-officio members include the USD Board of Education President and the Superintendent of Schools.  The directors adopted by-laws, established a committee structure, and were granted tax exempt status.  Fundraising activities are ongoing.

In May of 2023 the Association held investments totaling $1,868,754.68. Scholarships totaling $95,500.00 were awarded in May 2023

 Excellence in education has always been a benchmark for USD 273.  Both faculty and students are encouraged to produce quality projects.  It is the desire of the Endowment Association to provide encouragement for faculty projects by providing extra funding for innovative educational programs.  Eventually, the Endowment Association wants to provide funding for equipment or hardware that is beyond the scope of the regular budget.

Fortunately, the opportunity for you to aid in attaining these goals is available.  You are a member of the Endowment Association by virtue of your past or current association with USD 273.  You may become an active member by donating a tax deductible amount.  Please fill out the attached form and send it to the address shown on the form.

Thank you for any donation you send.  Your gift is greatly appreciated by the faculty, students, and community.  Maintaining excellence in education is the main purpose of this organization.
