ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Goodrich Educational Foundation, established in 1994, is a 501(c) 3 organization that accepts tax deductible donations in order to fund projects that have the potential to improve, enhance, and stimulate learning for our Goodrich students, especially in cases where sufficient normal revenues are not available. Since its inception the foundation has granted more than $70,000 in awards to classroom teachers and staff.
CRITERIA FOR THE AWARD
The Board of Trustees looks for creative, unique, high impact educational ideas and expanded educational opportunities for students at Goodrich Area Schools. The request must be for projects not normally funded through general education funds.
HOW TO DONATE
Donations may be made by check payable to the Goodrich Educational Foundation or online through MySchoolBucks. School employees have the option of choosing payroll deductions. Real estate or other items of value may be transferred to the Foundation by contacting the Superintendent's Office or Goodrich Area Schools at 810-591-2201.
HOW IT IS MANAGED
The Foundation is managed by a Board of Trustees. Grant requests are submitted to the Foundation by Goodrich staff members annually. The proposals are reviewed by the directors and funds are then awarded based on which offer the most creative, unique and high-impact educational opportunities for the students in our district.
