To establish, maintain, supplement and augment educational programs offered within the Payette School District. An endowment fund has been established by which only interest is spendable. The Payette Education Foundation was a vision created by frustrated tax payers who wanted a better way to improve their school system. Teachers and school members may request funds as long as their program benefits multiple students. Library books, calculators for Math classes, camera/projector for Art classes, medals for the Parade of Champions program, are just a few of the accepted requests.Donations are accepted from private individuals, corporations, fund raising, memorials and any other sources available. The Endowment Fund has been invested and only the interest is available for requested grants. The ultimate goal of the Foundation, is to establish enough long-term funds to one day, supplement school improvements without having to go to the taxpayer.
