Core offering

FUSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) teachers and students by funding innovative classroom projects through microgrants (up to $500), providing free classroom supplies via the Teacher's Closet at Summit High School, and sustaining music education programs through the Debbi Grogan Memorial Fund. Programs are funded entirely by community donations, corporate sponsorships, and proceeds from local events such as Flagstaff Oktoberfest and Flagstaff Blues and Brews Festival.

Product overview

The FUSD Foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational support organization, not a technology product company. Its offerings consist of grant and resource programs that support Flagstaff Unified School District educators: the Microgrants and STEAM Micro Grants programs provide up to $500 for innovative classroom projects; the Teacher's Closet offers free school supplies to FUSD teachers; the Debbi Grogan Memorial Fund supports music education; and the New Teacher Supply Bags program assists new educators. These programs work together to fill funding gaps in music, art, and STEM education across all 15 FUSD schools.
