Donate to the Foundation

The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization. We collect donations from individuals and other sponsors and in coordination with the Saline Area Schools district, we direct that money to teaching grants, district-wide grants, and specific building projects. Our grants play an important role funding educational initiatives that cannot be funded by the general budget.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ABOUT DONATION
STACEY RUMPSA

Thank you for supporting the Foundation for Saline Area Schools.  My husband and I chose to move to Saline solely for the school district and to raise our kids in this amazing community.  Our kids started in kindergarten and they are both in high school now.  I can personally attest to how blessed they are for having the experiences that Saline Area Schools has to offer.  Our community is incredibly lucky to be a part of a school system with staff and teachers who are innovative and thrive in seeing their students succeed. Thank you for your financial support.
