What is the Briarwood Elementary School Foundation?
The Briarwood Elementary School Foundation (BF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to enhance Briarwood Elementary School’s ability to create rich educational experiences for all students. Directed by a board of parent volunteers, our primary purpose is to fund programs and supplies not provided by federal, state, school district or Parent Teacher Association (PTA) budgets.
Where does the money raised go?
The money raised by the Briarwood Foundation goes to grants requested by the Briarwood Principal, Briarwood Teachers, and Briarwood Staff. These grants directly benefit the students at Briarwood.
Who We Are
The Briarwood Foundation is strictly a fundraising and fund-management organization that can support the entire school, special groups, individuals or programs. The Briarwood Foundation is supported by parents, families, neighbors, our local community and businesses that seek to provide resources beyond tax funding to sustain superior education at Briarwood Elementary School.
What We Do
The Briarwood Foundation solicits donations from businesses, organizations and other foundations dedicated to educational support. We also host programs throughout the school year to allow our school to earn money. Some of those programs include:
- Sponsorships
- Individual Donations
- PTA Contributions
The Foundation is not in competition with the PTA. In fact, it was formed to allow us access to additional unrestricted funds to assist our school.
The Briarwood Foundation works closely with the Briarwood Principal to ensure the money raised, allocated, and saved fits the missions of the Briarwood Foundation and the school.
