For over two years now, district leadership along with key community leaders have worked to develop the EGUSD FIRST Foundation to support the students and teachers within the Elk Grove Unified School District by raising funds to fill gaps in resources and opportunities to ensure equitable experiences and outcomes for all students, and especially for those in our most vulnerable communities. Elk Grove Unified School District is the largest school district in Northern California serving a vastly diverse population of over 63,000 students with more than 100 different languages spoken. The needs of our students and teachers is just as vast and diverse, so the support of a Foundation makes sense!
The EGUSD FIRST Foundation is a 501(c)(3) education nonprofit organization created to support students and teachers in the Elk Grove Unified School District by raising funds to fill in resource and opportunity gaps through innovative approaches, commitment to the success of all students, collaboration with community partners, engaging the community at large, and exercising good stewardship over all resources. We aim to intentionally support our most vulnerable communities to ensure they have what the resources needed to achieve success.
Our current priorities include supporting the Newcomer Welcome Centers that serve as resource hubs for families new to the country and the school district, providing resource support for special programs such as the Colts Generational Gaming Academy at Edward Harris, Jr. Middle School and, ultimately, hiring an executive director.
Envisioning a system without barriers and in which all students’ needs are met, we asked ourselves, What If? Then we started the legacy building journey that is EGUSD FIRST Foundation!
