The Foundation for Saline Area Schools funds district-wide and building-specific initiatives, teacher grants, student-led grants and community partnership grants.

"Our goal is to enhance the quality of education in the Saline Area School District by providing money for 'extras' that cannot be funded by the general budget," said Stacey Rumpsa, Executive Director of the Foundation for Saline Area Schools. "It is because of our sponsors and generous donations that we can facilitate the innovative ideas that our teachers, students and staff create, making a big impact on our students' educational experiences."
