As our community protects our students and teachers from COVID-19, now more than ever, teachers and parents need our help to provide the equipment and supplies needed for the coming school year. They need to be able to successful teach children remotely, in hybrid-models (at school and at home), and in the classrooms. This year the Foundation used funds donated by sponsors and contributors to support TV Classroom, a locally televised school program for city students with classroom instruction on WCNY-TV. We anticipate supporting more of these types of programs, in addition to instructional programs that can be provided at home and at schools. In advance of your consideration of this request…we THANK YOU!

What do a ceramics studio, a sound field system, an African drum demonstration, and a poetry competition have in common?
They’re all extracurricular educational opportunities made possible by the Syracuse City School District Educational Foundation. Every school district has limited funds available to cover its core curriculum. And every district – in fact nearly every teacher and administrator – has a wish list of programs that compliments these classroom activities.
The mission of the Syracuse City School District Educational Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) community foundation, is to strengthen our school district by expanding academic and cultural opportunities for students. Since its inception in the 2003/04 school year the Foundation has funded a total of 400 supplemental education grants and provided more than $900,000 for students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade.
We ask you to consider becoming directly involved in the economic future of our community by supporting the quality of life and education of the 20,000 school children that live and learn in the 35 Syracuse City schools.
