The mission of the School District 300 Foundation for Educational Excellence is to enhance and extend learning opportunities for all students in D300, one of the largest districts in the state. Since its founding in 2002 by a group of community volunteers, the Foundation has raised well over half a million dollars for District 300 schools and students. The Foundation focuses on four areas of impact: Literacy, Performing and Fine Arts, Science and Technology, and Student Leadership.
