Your support is critical for success

Dear RCS community,

The Rochester Community School Foundation was established to provide funding for the enhancement of educational opportunities for all students who attend Rochester Community Schools.

Generous donors like you can contribute to the “Where the Need is Greatest” fund anytime to allow teachers to seek funding twice a year for programs or classroom incentives!

Because of you … 

GENEROUS DONORS HAVE HELPED FUND …

Critical contributions designated to our “Where the Need is Greatest” fund, allowed us to award $37,954 in 2020 to RCS TEACHERS to support their amazing grant initiatives and enhance the  educational experience of students across the district. This fund included 88 families who made personal donations to say thanks to their favorite RCS staff members.
