Welcome to the Sycamore Education Foundation
The Sycamore Education Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1984 to meet the needs for increased community involvement and support for public education. The Foundation receives and distributes private gifts from generous individuals and businesses to enrich educational opportunities for students in the Sycamore School District #427 not otherwise available through regular funding resources. These community generated funds have been used to purchase equipment and supplies to support facility improvements and faculty development.
It is the goal of the Sycamore Education Foundation to provide funding for projects that will allow talented professionals to utilize their abilities to the fullest extent in order to invite educators, the general public, parents and students to submit proposals for consideration by the Foundation.
Funds collected have been applied to increasing the district's technological resources and supporting innovative programs through the provision of grants to teachers, staff, and administrators. Previous grants have included technology equipment, stimulating science programming, and art and music enhancements, to name a few.
The Sycamore Education Foundation supports the more than 3,565 students, faculty and administrators of Community Unit School District 427.
