Our Mission

Our budget allows us to maintain the necessities in schools, but we are lucky to have a community that believes in and values the importance of public education and understands that investing in our students is investing in our community and in the future. Twin Falls Education Foundation bridges the gap between what can be funded and what is needed in the classroom. They bring public and private partners together to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed in school and in life.

Twin Falls Education Foundation works earnestly with the community and school district to meet immediate, critical education needs that strengthen our public schools. Thanks to the generosity of community partners and private donors, they work to support the efforts of the school district to ensure every student can succeed. Together, we are driving public education forward. Twin Falls Education Foundation is making an impact. You can too.

Our most vulnerable students and their families are likely to endure physiological stressors, such as risk of hunger and homelessness, unsafe and crowded living conditions, poor sanitation, and inadequate safety nets, employment, or needed social supports. Twin Falls Education Foundation has assisted in meeting the needs of those struggling in an effort to keep our kids in school. They recognize the risk factors and are among the first to lend a helping hand.

Twin Falls Education Foundation helps guide effective investments in education to meet critical needs of our students and educators. They bring public and private partners together to ensure every student can succeed in school and in life. It is for these reasons and others that we donate to and through the organization.

When the business community has wanted to invest in education, they have trusted Twin Falls Education Foundation. We are proud of our association with an organization that is working hand-in-hand with our school district to ensure the success of our students and well-being of our educators. We pride ourselves in being a donor, partner, and advocate for the work of the organization.

After being named Teacher of the Year by Twin Falls Education Foundation and Twin Falls School District, I was inspired to continue my education and pursue a master’s degree in Education Administration. I credit Twin Falls Education Foundation for recognizing and validating my talents as an educator, for believing in me, and for giving me the confidence to go further. They truly are a change agent.

While Idaho is frugal with its education funds, this leaves less to help give students a real world experience outside the classroom. Because of Twin Falls Education Foundation and its donors, I have been able to introduce my students to basic electronics, automation, robotics, and programming to help them understand the real world and how technology improves lives. We all wish that our tax dollars provided for the ‘extras,’ but until they do, please support TFEF to help fill in the gaps and support educators.

Being a teacher is rewarding and expensive. I spend more than $2,000 annually, out of pocket, to make my lessons engaging for students. Twin Falls Education Foundation helps relieve the burden and anxiety of what is needed in the classroom through the generosity of its donors and Cash For Classrooms program. It truly takes a village, and I am grateful for the generosity of donors and Twin Falls Education Foundation.
