Investing In Vancouver Youth
Vancouver Public Schools serves over 21,000 youth across over 40 schools and programs. Support for the Foundation for VPS helps those students overcome barriers to learning and enriches the school experience to promote achievement. It makes a huge difference and changes lives!
Social Impact: Students are better prepared to enter the workforce and contribute to the well-being of our community.
Business values: Many community members choose to patronize businesses supporting students. Fostering a culture of giving back in your business can aid employee recruitment and retention.
Recognition of your positive community investment is an important part of the Foundation for VPS partnership program.
We will work with you to customize a plan for your support that best suits your marketing goals and company values.
The following are some of the ways you can invest in student success:
$5,000 or more in one year.
Contributions from Community Champions support student success by removing barriers to learning, expanding enrichment and engagement opportunities, promoting social-emotional health and well-being, and strengthening early learning, special education, and college and career readiness programs. Donors have the flexibility to direct their contributions toward the areas of greatest need or the causes that matter most to them.
Community Champions will be recognized throughout the year, both to publicly express direct appreciation of support, and to leverage additional major commitments.
Community Champions also receive the following:
-Invitation to an exclusive appreciation reception for Community Champions.
-Special recognition during the annual Foundation for VPS Luncheon.
-Listing on the Foundation website.
-Recognition in Foundation for VPS digital and print materials.
-Impact reports that can be shared with your staff and/or patrons.
