Who we are

Foundation Uniting Neighbors of District 69 (FUND69) was created in 2005 when a group of parents decided they wanted to contribute to the education of the children of District 69 by increasing funding that goes to teachers for their classrooms. Thus, FUND69 was born. Our mission is to bring the community together to support our children by helping them get the best education and life experiences possible.

FUND69's funding comes from businesses, organizations and individuals. Our funding is generated by organizing community fundraising events along with individual and corporate contributions. The funds are awarded in the form of mini-grants to teachers and staff for programs or supplies that will enhance or enrich the education of our children. Teachers submit a Grant Application which is reviewed by the Board to measure its value to and impact on the children and district.

FUND69 is committed to the educational enrichment of District 69 children. We would very much appreciate any contribution of time or money that you can make to our foundation. For more information, or to volunteer, please contact us.
