Panther Foundation
About Us
School District 16 does a great job of providing the educational basics for students. Panther Foundation members think our students deserve even more. We think it's worth an investment to maintain high quality school experiences for the benefit of our children, parents and taxpayers.
In 2004, 60 community members, identified for their loyalty, passion and support of the school district community, met to discuss the need for the Foundation. The idea was wholeheartedly supported. Volunteers from the community were appointed to a board of directors.
The Foundation is a non-profit organization completely separate from School District 16. We work with the district as a supportive partner. With the combined commitments of the School District, the Panther Foundation and the members of the community, we can ensure our students receive the best educational opportunities.
Our goal is to fund educational innovations that students need to be successful - the pieces that can mean the difference between an average education and an outstanding one! In our first three years, 50 grants were presented on behalf of students. In addition, another $20,000 was raised and used for "Fund-a-Dream" projects in classrooms. Our most recent fundraiser brought in $65,000, funding that will greatly benefit students.
Our most recent Annual Report and our current Board of Directors membership are provided below:
