The Uxbridge Education Foundation is an independent,
community-based, non-profit organization established to provide academic and
cultural enrichment for the Uxbridge Public Schools and its students. The
Uxbridge Education Foundation will strive to continually improve the profile of
public education in Uxbridge.
It was founded in 2005 by a group of citizens that wanted to help
improve the education of the students in the Uxbridge Public
School system by funding innovative teacher-sponsored programs and initiatives.
Work done by some members of the Uxbridge Futures Committee formed the basis for
the initial charter and vision for the Foundation. Funds would come from donations made by local residents and corporations and be
distributed based on a competitive grant program. A Board of Directors
comprising a cross section of interested members of the community would decide
how the money raised would be allocated. In subsequent meetings the Board
decided to start a scholarship for students of the UPS system. To date the
Foundation has awarded over $30,000 in grants and scholarships.
The mission of the Foundation is to improve education in the Uxbridge
Public School System by providing supplemental funding for educators
and students. The Foundation will also act as an independent
advocate for the public school system.
In order to help accomplish our mission, our goals
are to:
- Communication - maintain informed dialog with the school
community to enhance the Foundation's role in support of their
creative initiatives.
- Financial growth - continually build sources to
establish the fiscal strength of the Foundation by developing a
variety of funding sources.
- Awareness - to heighten visibility of the
Foundation's purpose, accomplishments, and impact in the
community and to act as an independent advocate for public
schools in the town of Uxbridge.
- Community Support - to inspire community support
and encourage diverse involvement.
