Why do we need a Foundation? Why should I give to the Foundation?
We are fortunate to be part of the Eden Prairie community that has a strong, valued and well-respected school system. However, Eden Prairie residents must recognize that times are changing as reflected by: declining new residential development, peaking student enrollment, and reduced funding by the State due to declining enrollment. It is imperative to invest in the future and to play a part in ensuring the ongoing excellence of Eden Prairie Schools.
Do other school districts have Foundations? Yes, school districts across the country have similar foundations, including more than 35 in Minnesota.
Is my donation tax deductible? Yes. The Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and we will mail the donor a receipt for any contribution made.
What is the difference between the Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools and Eden Prairie Foundation?
The Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools funds programs within the schools that build on the continued excellence of our schools. The Eden Prairie Foundation supports community organizations and projects.
