Core offering

The PLCS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1986 that exclusively supports Papillion La Vista Community Schools (PLCS) students across all 12,000 students in the district. It operates the Kids Club before-and-after-school care program at 16 elementary schools, provides college scholarships to graduating seniors, runs the PLCS Community Closet for students in need of clothing and hygiene items, distributes School Grants to all 22 PLCS buildings, and raises funds through donations, corporate sponsorships, and annual events like the Swing for Kids Golf Fundraiser.

Product overview

PLCS Foundation operates as a single unified nonprofit organization offering multiple educational support programs rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core offerings include Kids Club (before-and-after-school care at all 16 elementary schools), the PLCS Community Closet (free clothing and hygiene supplies), Scholarships (college financial aid), and the annual Swing for Kids Golf Fundraiser. The Foundation is also developing the PLCS Community Engagement Center, a new 18,000 sq ft facility that will consolidate these programs under one roof as part of a $10 million capital campaign.
