Invest in Student Success!
For more than 35 years, the Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools has helped ensure students have the resources they need to thrive. By bringing together donations and community resources, the Foundation can respond quickly to emerging needs and create meaningful opportunities that enrich students’ lives and learning.
The Foundation relies on generous support from local businesses, foundations, grantmakers, and hundreds of individuals—including many Vancouver Public Schools employees.
Historically, educators were the driving force behind the Foundation. They understood a simple truth: students are better positioned to learn and succeed when their basic needs are met. They also knew that when a community comes together, there is enough to go around.
That spirit continues through the annual VPS Staff Campaign. Last year, VPS employees raised more than $122,000 for students—before iQ Credit Union’s generous $20,000 matching gift.
Every day, VPS staff demonstrate their commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of young people in our community. Through the Staff Campaign, you can be part of that tradition, helping students access the resources they need in a place they trust, supported by people who care.
Your generosity helps students throughout Vancouver Public Schools—and may also provide tax benefits. Thank you for investing in our students and the future of our community.
