What We Do

The District 840 Foundation plays a very important role to help the District 840 be successful. Teachers are able to come to the foundation with a request for an item that they know will help their classroom and students succeed! With the funds the foundation raises from fundraising, donations, memorials, etc., we are then able to grant the teachers requests!

Your donations are what makes the District 840 Foundation help keep the schools, students, and teachers excelling, all while still being able to live and raise our children in the small town setting that we love. Please consider donating.

The District 840 Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization as defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, offers educational financial assistance, programs and services to all people without regard to race, religion, sex, or national origin and is an equal opportunity, affirmative action, Title IX organization.
