Excellence in education is an essential component of the economic vitality of our community:

• Experience has proven that excellent local public education is critical to a company’s ability to attract and retain talented employees.
• A strong, vital community attracts citizens that live here, work here, shop here and send their children to our public schools.
• Strong public schools are an investment in our community and our future.
• Funding for public education in Michigan has been declining for many years.  The Ann Arbor Public Schools have cut more than $25 million from its budget over the past four years.  In this climate it is difficult to provide opportunities for innovation and exploration of new programs that benefit students and are based on 21st century technology.  The Ann Arbor Public Schools Educational Foundation, in a small way, can provide funding for innovative opportunities for all students. 

100% of every gift stays in Ann Arbor. Every gift makes a difference.
