Invest in the Future
Through the support of incredible donors like you, the Education Foundation for Billings Public Schools funds the Backpack Meals, Teen Pantry and School District 2 Homeless Student programs, serving those with the highest need in our district. We’ve continued to cultivate partnerships for student success by supporting the Angel Fund, ensuring all students have the opportunity to get involved and excel. And, we fund student and educator scholarships to ensure learning continues.
Your donations create classroom innovation, from learning about hydroponics and fresh reading curriculum, to in-the-field experimentation and new technology experiences, to name just a few. Your investment creates positive and lasting impact on students every single day.
As Billings grows, so does the school district and the demands of the Foundation. As we continue to serve our community’s greatest resource, our children, your support is critical. With your help, the Foundation will continue providing tools and resources essential to funding the educational experience.
Thank you for helping the Education Foundation serve students and educators!
