The Champion Educational Enrichment Fund - informally known as "Inspire" - is a non-profit fund developed for the sole purpose of providing innovation and inspiration to all students in the Champion Local School District Directed by a volunteer board of community members, The Fund raises money exclusively through donations from school families, community members, businesses, foundations, and alumni These contributions support activities and programs that are beyond the scope of public school funding.

Previous Inspire contributions have funded trips to Camp Fitch, allowed for the purchase of STEM kits for classroom learning, supported the construction of an outdoor greenhouse at Champion High School, enhanced Spanish literacy efforts, and led to the creation of the middle school Invention Convention.
