The Foundation for Fresno Unified Schools is on a mission to ensure every student in the district has the tools and resources to reach their highest potential. As the strategic fundraising partner for Fresno Unified, the foundation is working with schools, the district and the entire community to accelerate progress for students through the funding of highest impact investments.
“We are excited to be able to gather with partners and supporters for the first time in three years,” said Superintendent Bob Nelson. “I have missed personally sharing the accomplishments of our district and our goals for the future. I also look forward to this exciting step forward in the history of our district, with the kickoff of The Foundation for Fresno Unified Schools and announcing its first multi-million-dollar donation. It’s going to be a great evening.”
