The CFSD Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization and raises funds for the community’s investment in CFSD public schools in order to provide students the best possible educational opportunities.

The Catalina Foothills School District Foundation has established four endowment funds to provide a multi-year source of funding for programs in our schools. Budget decisions to eliminate or reduce programs offered to our students cannot be avoided unless a consistent level of funding can be guaranteed. Our endowments allow our students to continue to benefit from a broad and varied curriculum year after year, independent of state funding. Donations earmarked for our endowment funds are invested to correspond with the original purpose and objective of the individual fund. Investment horizons can range from one year to perpetuity.
