Columbia Public Schools Foundation

Our Mission

The Columbia Public Schools Foundation was founded in 1996 to support our schools through providing innovative grants to our students and teachers. We have provided more than $1.6 million in grants to all CPS schools and the Career Center, impacting more than 18,000 students. New programs include New Educator grants for all new CPS teachers and a scholarship for future educators.

Why We're Great

We are dedicated to the enrichment of public education through community giving. Our tagline (and our initials) stands for Columbia Puts Students First. We believe that strong schools equal a strong community. Your donations make a difference in the lives of students!

New programs support New Educators and graduating seniors who want to become educators.
