The community's expectations for its schools continue to increase while the limits on tax funds become more restrictive. The Foundation offers a way for individuals, groups and businesses to help support their schools through tax-deductible contributions. The Blair Community Schools Foundation is legally incorporated and non-profit, established in accordance with State and Federal laws. The Foundation is not a governmental body and does not receive any tax funds. A ten member Board of Directors, representing the community and school district, governs the operation of the Foundation.
Board members receive no financial compensation for their services.
Foundation funds may also be used for specific purposes designated by the donor, or they can be applied to the greatest educational needs as determined by the Board of Directors. Blair Community Schools has acquired a reputation for educational excellence. Everyone in the Blair community can benefit from the work of the Foundation because good schools strengthen the community.
