Mission

THE FOUNDATION IS COMMITTED TO REACHING EVERY CHILD IN THE SAN MATEO FOSTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT. A STRONG SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES MORE THAN JUST SUPPORT THE CHILDREN IN ITS CARE, IT IMPACTS THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. A STRONG SCHOOL DISTRICT PRODUCES A SMART AND MOTIVATED SUPPLY OF WORKERS, AND BENEFITS THE LOCAL ECONOMY, SUSTAINING LOCAL BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY PRICES. WE ARE COMMITTED TO REACHING OUT TO OUR GREATER COMMUNITY, RAISING AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOLS TO THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE IMMEDIATE PARENT BASE. WE BELIEVE SO STRONGLY IN THIS THAT SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE DEVOTED ENTIRELY TO OUTREACH, BOTH WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUTSIDE TO THE CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES THAT RELY ON OUR BUSINESS AND THE WORKFORCE THAT THIS DISTRICT IS CREATING.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

4 people paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

51 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

18 grantors reported grants to this organization, $2,849,492 in all, tax years 2010 to 2025. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
