Dear Salt Lake City School District families and community, 

I am grateful that the Salt Lake Education Foundation is the non-profit partner of Salt Lake City School District because they champion Salt Lake City’s public schools, students, families, and educators. The Foundation is uniquely positioned to respond quickly to emerging needs across our schools and district. As an independent charitable organization, the Foundation connects donors and partners to meet the district’s highest priorities—providing additional funding for innovative programs and projects that support students, families, and teachers. Ultimately, the Foundation works toward a future where every student reaches their fullest potential.

The Foundation is critical in bringing private donors, corporate supporters, and community partners together to meet student needs and ensure students can access challenging and engaging academic programs. These relationships are vital to helping our students grow into courageous, well-prepared, driven adults who will positively impact our community.

The Salt Lake Education Foundation is an invaluable partner to the Salt Lake City School District. I look forward to continuing to work with the Foundation as we strive to meet every student's needs in our district. Together, we will ensure that all our children have access to a world-class education that enables them to fully and productively participate in civic, social, economic, and community life.

Educationally, 

Elizabeth Grant, Ph.D. 
Superintendent 
Salt Lake City School District 

Welcome to the Salt Lake Education Foundation's new website!
Our goal in developing this new site was to make information easier to find for our students, their families, district employees and partners. We believe that this new site will make it possible to share our mission, vision and accomplishments with our community.

The Salt Lake Education Foundation's board, staff, donors and volunteers are committed to ensuring each student in the Salt Lake City School District has the tools needed to succeed, both in and out of school.

I am proud of the long history of investing in our students and responding to the changing needs of families. During the last 45 years, the foundation has modified and expanded our programs, even created new programs to ensure that students and families have access to the services needed for students to reach their academic goals.

We will continue to update our strategic plans, incorporating new ideas, innovative services and programs and investing more in our students.

I would like to thank all those whose generosity and support have made it possible for the foundation to continue helping students and families.

Please navigate through the website and let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

James E. Yapias
Foundation Director
Salt Lake City School District
