What We Do

We raise money to Boost Student Success at all 17 schools in the Tigard Tualatin School District. Foundation dollars pay for part-time licensed teachers and instructional assistants; reading, math and science programs; technology, arts and supplies that make a difference for kids. We grant money to teachers to pay for innovative programs. And we grant scholarships to our best and brightest as they take off for college.

Who we are, what we do, & how we do it!
