Contribute

Help us ensure that the schools in Paulding County remain among the best in the state and that our community maintains its reputation for supporting public education. It is only through the united effort of the entire community that we can provide quality educational experiences for our children.

Become a Community Contributor – The Foundation is doing great work, but we could do more with your annual support. Because the Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 organization, Individuals can commit to giving a tax-deductible, monthly or annual donation to help fund some of these ongoing programs and scholarships for as little as $35. When you contribute, you will receive regular updates that show you the impact you are having on these students. You can fill out the Private Donor Form and email it to us to show your support. Whether it is a one time donation or a reoccurring gift, it will make a tremendous impact.
Become an Annual Corporate Sponsor – For as little as $7,500 a year, businesses can have a significant impact on our students and receive exclusive high profile branding and advertising opportunities inside our school distribution channels. With over 3,400 school district employees and 30,000 students, the Foundation can offer businesses the inside track to this highly coveted and protected group. While many businesses want to reach these 34,000 households, very few are given the opportunity to advertise inside this closed network. You can fill out the Corporate Donor Form and email it to us to show your support. Whether it is a one time donation or a reoccurring gift, it will make a tremendous impact.

Thank you for your contribution to advance academic excellence!
