Do most public school districts in Westchester have schools foundations?
Yes, they do. Districts ranging from Bronxville, which has one of the oldest and most successful foundations, to Eastchester, which has only recently formed a foundation, are finding it a worthwhile way to raise funds and enhance education in their communities. And across the country, there is greater emphasis on private and corporate giving for public schools. Mamaroneck has one of the most successful foundations in the area in terms of both money raised and grants awarded. A strong schools foundation is considered an important sign of a communitys commitment to education, and is often noted by realtors and in descriptions of our community.
