The Sanger Education Foundation, Inc. an independent, 501(c)(3) non profit corporation promoting quality education in Sanger ISD Schools, was established in 2005. It was organized exclusively for educational purposes to provide supplemental funds for educational and scientific programs or activities for the Sanger Independent School District. Specifically, the Sanger Education Foundation seeks and distributes funds to support programs and initiatives to further enhance learning for public school students in the Sanger community.
They have a vision of excellence for the school district, but realize that the lack of funds, both state and local taxpayer dollars, limits programs and services to students.
To alleviate lack of adequate funding, the foundation actively seeks donors from among citizens, alumni, businesses, corporations and other foundations. Funds donated enhance innovative programs that benefit students and support teaching initiatives and growth. All donations to the foundation are tax-deductable.
The Foundation seeks to maintain a permanent general endowment and individual named endowments that supplements public education dollars and programs. All programs are funded from donations and endowment earnings.
Sanger Education Foundation is honored and privileged to maintain and administer our family of endowments and scholarships on behalf of those who have lost loved ones or to honor those whose legacy lives within each of us. The Sanger Education Foundation is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization under IRS guidelines and administers in accordance with Section I, pursuant to policies and procedures and in a manner consistent with the Texas Uniform Prudent Management of Intuitional Funds Act.
