Our mission...

to foster private sector support for initiatives that improve learning opportunities and academic achievement, enhance the leadership and educational capabilities of administrators, teachers, and staff, and advance improvements in the classrooms, schools, and related facilities of the Lancaster City Schools, Lancaster, Ohio.

Our History...

On June 26, 2007, the Lancaster Public Education Foundation was incorporated to pursue this mission as an Ohio nonprofit organization. Charitable status was secured by arranging to operate as a fund through the Fairfield County Foundation. The Directors quietly approached several potential donors who generously agreed to support this cause as a Founding Donor. The recognition of Founding Donor was earned by a business that pledges $10,000 or greater, and by individuals or families pledging $5,000 or greater. By October 31, 2007, over $40,000 of pledges had been received from area businesses, organizations and individuals. 

Founding Donors

Additionally, the Lancaster Public Education Foundation acknowledges charitable gifts from:

Throughout the current school year, the Board of Directors will be inviting individuals, families, groups and business in the Lancaster community to pledge their support activities that will enhance the education of all children. Those pledging at the $5,000/$10,000 will be recognized with those already identified as founding donors. Charitable gifts of any size will be accepted.
