Who We Are

We are the only philanthropic organization that works directly with school leadership to align the investments of partners – private foundations, corporations and businesses, community organizations and individual donors – with the strategies that will impact the success of students attending our neighborhood public schools.

We identify, coordinate and connect philanthropic resources – through effective public-private partnerships – to leverage investments in the Upper Perkiomen School District. We target strategic priorities that have a measurable impact on the success of our students.
