 There are Several Ways to Donate

Products and Services

Gifts of products and services help reduce operating costs so Foundation Funds can be allocated towards other mission objectives and goals.

Monetary Gifts

Gifts can be allocated, per the donor’s wishes, as follows:

  • Foundation Fund – This fund supports the Foundation’s operations and is used for the Board of Directors to fund new programs and educational opportunities as they arise.

  • Inspiration Garden – This project will turn a grassy area at the east end of Kutztown High School near the stadium into a place of inspiration and reflection for everyone who visits. The project will include a large mural and a small park with information placards containing quotes and stories.

  • Teacher Mini-Grants – We are proud to announce the granting of our inaugural mini grants for teachers. Classroom teachers were invited to submit proposals and the result was that 10 mini-grants will be funded this year across the district.  Watch for photographs and videos of these projects in practice in the classrooms.  We look forward to seeing the impact on our students!

  • Innovative Projects – The KASD Education Foundation provides funding for innovative projects, such as STEAM Fair, Support-a-Scholar, & Imagination Library, which supplement existing school activities. Supporting initiatives at all grade levels has been a priority of the Foundation.

  • Blue and White Scholarship – This Foundation-run scholarship is given to a graduating senior with good academic standing and good character, who represents the high school in a positive manner, and is involved in school and community activities.

  • Annual Memorial Award – This Foundation-run award is given to a graduating senior in memory of your loved one. Memorial dollars are aggregated to provide this annual award, giving the donor(s) and the Foundation an opportunity to publicly honor the individual(s), with recognition during that year’s annual KAHS Awards Ceremony.

  • Other Existing Scholarship or Award – Donations can be given to other existing scholarships or awards. Descriptions of how those awards are determined are included on the Scholarship page of the website.

  • New Named Scholarship – A new scholarship or award can be created by the donor. The Foundation is required to have a fiduciary responsibility for the donations it oversees. Therefore a minimum of $1000 and a balance to cover a minimum of three years of the award is required. Such donations are not invested for growth.

Larger Monetary Donations

In addition to the options listed above, gifts of $20,000 or larger may be allocated, per the donor’s choices, as an ongoing scholarship. Donor funds are invested per our investment policy to provide an ongoing scholarship in one of two ways:

  • Distribution of set dollar amount – A donor-specified amount is awarded annually, until the funds are exhausted.

  • Distribution of the annual interest – A donor-specified amount, not to be below a stated minimum nor to exceed a maximum, which the donor specifies.
