Our Mission Statement:

The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools supports, and advocates for, all schools in our district through fundraising, creating learning opportunities, and building partnerships within the community. By aligning ourselves with the mission of our schools, we will raise awareness about the impact that strong schools have on our students and our community.

Join Our Board!

We are currently seeking new members to join us in 30 years of making a difference and supporting our schools.

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!

How We Help

  • Granting thousands of dollars to each school every year to spend on their greatest needs. (Foundation School Grants)
