Support and enhance the overall educational programs for the students and staff of Riverdale Unified School District through expanded funding opportunities for academics, athletics, agriculture, and the arts.

The Foundation is an independent, non-profit corporation that was organized in 2011 to support educational efforts of Riverdale Unified School District. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of local business, community, and educational leaders.

Support from the Foundation is a crucial component of the District’s ability to meet community expectations for the educational goals of our students. The overall goal of the Foundation is to expand and maintain programs, with a focus on funding new and innovative educational programs and efforts. Foundation efforts continue to be essential in preparing our children for the highly competitive and evolving world they will face.

Why do we need a Foundation? The answer is both easy and simple: to provide Riverdale Unified School District with independent funding sources to support new and innovative educational programs such as a variety of educational grants and to provide scholarships to Riverdale students for college.

How does the Foundation raise money? This part has many layers to it. The Foundation will conduct annual community based campaigns every year to support the educational programs of Riverdale Unified School District. Foundation Board members work in partnership with community leaders, businesses, residents and district employees to discuss the work of the Foundation, and ask for their support.
