The Need to Support Public School Education

Public schools all across the country have long been aware that their operating budgets don't always cover their wants, let alone their needs! As a result, language programs, arts and music, athletics, and field trips are going on the chopping block when budgets face a deficit.

In addition to this, Act 68 redistributes money from South Burlington taxpayers to lower income Vermont districts. So where can schools access the funding to pay for the things that distinctly identifies a good school from a great school?

The answer lies in non-profit foundations, and the South Burlington School District is one of the few districts in Vermont to create a 501(c)(3) foundation to finance specific projects above and beyond what the school budget can support.

The SBSF's objective is to fundraise for programs the District believes will enhance and enrich each student's academic, and extracurricular experience.
By funding the Foundation you are keeping your gift in South Burlington to help our local students.
