Our Mission

We are dedicated to the enrichment of public education through community giving.

Since it was founded in 1996, the Columbia Public Schools Foundation has awarded more than

$1.8 million

to support teachers and students in all CPS schools and the Career Center.

We believe that strong schools equal a strong community. Join us in supporting our teachers and students! Donate to the Columbia Public Schools Foundation — your tax deductible donations make a difference in the lives of students.
