This short booklet explains the education foundation approach to raising money for schools, describes how administrators or boards of education can start an education foundation, and presents profiles of six foundations throughout the country. The author emphasizes that, of all the attempts to find supplementary school funds, the local nonprofit education foundation, offering tax deductions to donors, has been the most successful. Outlined are the Ford Foundation program to aid groups forming local education funds, how to start a foundation, where to find money, what principals can do, the advantages of being independent from the school district, the importance of choosing appropriate members for the foundation board and who these might be, why small grant programs have been successful and how to start them, and the teachers' role. Specific "Do's and Don'ts" are suggested, including getting a volunteer lawyer to fill out nonprofit forms, funding specific dynamic programs, and beginning with a pilot school. Key questions asked by school administrators and their answers are listed. The six case studies of foundations are intended to show the wide variety of approaches communities are using to start foundations to improve education. (JM)

Local Education Foundations (LEFs), non-profit organizations that are closely associated with and in support of their local schools, have become a key resource in meeting the needs of today's students in public education. The purpose of this case study is to examine two LEFs in suburban Philadelphia, identify keys to their success or failure, and discuss their impact on and struggles in helping students in their communities. The theoretical frameworks of Overlapping Spheres of Influence and the Ethic of Community are applied to gain further insight into LEFs and will support the literature and research findings. The research questions that were answered are what is the perceived impact of Local Education Foundations on students and what are key indicators of a successful Local Education Foundation. Literature regarding the origins, goals, structures, and methods of fundraising, how their funds are distributed, outcomes, benefits, and limitations is examined. Pertinent documents about selected LEFs were gathered, observations of LEF board meetings were made, and interviews were conducted with many stakeholders, including LEF members, school district personnel, families, and donors. Based on the collected data, both LEFs embodied the three traits of a successful LEF as identified in the literature. Both have also made an impact on their community through scholarships and programs.

As school district revenues are reduced by state allocating agencies, local school district administrators and school boards frequently evaluate alternative sources of possible revenue. One emerging source of revenue that many school districts explore is a local education foundation. Local education foundations are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are affiliated with their local public school district. This study seeks to understand the problem that local school district leaders face when dealing with the complex issues that shape the success, impact, and viability of local education foundations. This mixed methods study used a cultural and symbolic framework to analyze local education foundations and the affiliated districts they support. A quantitative dataset was built for the study using Internal Revenue Service reporting documents and school district demographic data from the Michigan Department of Education. A statewide survey was distributed to superintendents with a local education foundation operating in their district as a source of data for the study. Finally, purposefully selected superintendents and local education foundation officials participated in follow up semi-structured interviews to obtain qualitative data. The data were analyzed using a variety of descriptive statistical techniques. An analysis of the data revealed that 28.5% of Michigan public school districts have an affiliated local education foundation. Local education foundations contributed an average of $13.61 per student to their affiliated district during the 2008-09 school year. Additional statistical analysis indicated that local education foundations were located in districts with lower poverty levels than those without a foundation, thus contributing to inequity among districts. The majority of local education foundations employ an embedded governance model with district representation in a voting or ex officio capacity as described by McCormick, Bauer, & Ferguson (2001). The study produced several summative findings. First, local education foundations in Michigan cannot be considered a source to replace reduced state appropriations. Second, local education foundations have a non-financial benefit of improving community relations. Third, local education foundations may begin to investigate moving from a volunteer model to a professional model as an operational model to maximize their benefit to their affiliated school district.
