The Toledo Public Schools Foundation was established in 1987 to provide scholarships to graduates of TPS. With rapid social change, increased diversity, and demands for accountability the makeup of the education landscape has changed dramatically. Schools in America are facing increasing demands while seeing a decrease in resources. Today, the foundation partners with the school district with a new agenda because support from public sources is simply not enough to provide the resource base necessary to create and operate the schools of the future. Together we are connecting philanthropy and education by actively reaching out to the community to invest in the future, our children. As a 501c3 entity, TPSF operates separately from the school district. We are committed to expand, compliment, and supplement current TPS initiatives in place moving the district forward.
