D54 Education Foundation

This morning, the District 54 Education Foundation was proud to share the incredible impact our partners have had on supporting District 54 students and their families during the Schaumburg School District 54 Partnership Breakfast. A heartfelt moment came as Foundation Treasurer Dan Flores shared his personal connection to our mission. As a child, Dan and his family were supported by a program similar to the Foundation. Today, he is deeply grateful to be in a position to give back, helping ensure the success of students. We are truly inspired by stories like Dan's and the collective dedication of our partners, whose generosity fuels our work. Together, we are creating a brighter future for every child. Thank you for being part of this journey!

A fully stocked pantry brings peace of mind and security to families, and with your help, we can ensure that all Schaumburg School District 54 students have food on the table this season. Support our Pack the Pantries initiative by donating to the Foundation, and together, we can make sure no one goes without a nourishing meal. Visit d54foundation.org/donate to help fill the shelves. Every gift counts ??

Happy 37th Birthday to the District 54 Education Foundation! On November 18, 1987, our Foundation was established with a mission to support the academic and social-emotional success of District 54 students and families. Over the past 37 years, we've helped countless families through initiatives like the Families in Crisis Fund, school supply drives, and food pantries, ensuring every child has the resources they need to thrive. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, volunteered, or spread the word about our work. Your support has made a lasting impact on our community! As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to grow and help even more families. Let’s make this next year even stronger—together we can achieve more! Want to be part of our next chapter? Support the Foundation today by donating, volunteering, or attending one of our events.
