Message from Dr. Linda Schulz

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRPERSON

Since its founding in 2006, the mission of the Northampton County Education Foundation has been to act as a conduit for community support for promoting and enhancing quality education for all children in our county public schools. Since our inception, our successes would not have been possible without YOU, the members of our community - individuals, businesses, non-profits, churches and other entities - who have used the Foundation to funnel financial support to the public schools. Thanks to the support of the community over the past 16 years, the contributions we have made to the school district, have grown exponentially to the 2021-2022 total of $55,873.

This funding has been used to support initiatives that promote students’ academic success, broaden their life experiences and enhance their well-being. We have also sponsored programs aimed at promoting teacher morale and rewarding teaching excellence. All funds that we invest in the public schools go toward valuable programs for which there is no funding available in the Northampton Public Schools’ budget.

Finally, none of this would be possible without the dedication and expertise of our hardworking, all-volunteer board of directors who skillfully guide and manage the Northampton County Education Foundation. Their efforts mean we can run the organization without paid staff, which allows us to funnel funds raised from the community directly back into the school system with minimal overhead costs.

As a Northampton County Education Foundation supporter, we know you join us in caring about our children and appreciating our teachers and administrators. We thank you for your past support and hope we can depend on you in the future.
