While Annville-Cleona School District residents have always generously supported public schools through their tax dollars, public school systems must face the difficult challenge of balancing innovative programs with cost constraints. With restrained funding at the federal and state level and an increase in regulation and mandates, the need for local funds has increased, as well. In establishing T
he Dutchmen Foundation, this community joins more than 2,000 communities across the nation to raise private funds for public schools. OUR MISSION
The mission of The Dutchmen Foundation is to supplement the academic, cultural, and extra-curricular programs of the Annville-Cleona School District by offering, supporting, or underwriting expenses that enrich and enhance the lives of the young people of our community. THE DUTCHMEN EDUCATION FOUNDATION
• Gives donors an opportunity to make tax-deductible gifts that directly benefit Annville-Cleona students.
• Enables Annville-Cleona students to gain donations from other foundations and non-profit groups.
• Provides Annville-Cleona teachers with the valuable resources needed to create wonderful new learning experiences.
• Removes budget restrictions that often thwart inventive ideas and quash innovations in teaching. BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
