AGENCY INFORMATION (Be Very Brief and Concise) Please provide the following information about your agency (2 pages OR LESS): a) Years in Operation, Date of Incorporation (Month/Year): 33 years in operation; incorporated November 30, 1983 b) Agency's Purpose/Mission (no more than a few sentences): Creating opportunities for students and teachers c) Types of Services the Agency Provides (bullet format): • The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation (PSF) is both a fundraiser and a grant-maker. • In order to fund our grant programs, we apply for grants that we can then re- grant, receive donations from local businesses and donors, and also have endowments that generate funds for our five grant categories. • Over $180,000 was distributed to teachers, principals, and staff in our school district last year through the grant programs. • PSF also hosts a number of fundraising events, including a Walk for Education, which mobilizes community support and enables schools to generate funds for their needed programs. Through the Walk for Education, over $100,000 was raised by individual schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools District in 2015-16 for their own use. We operate a Teacher Supply Store in partnership with the East Chapel Hill Rotary Club and provide free school supplies to teachers for use by their students in the classroom—a $75 value to each teacher who participates. Our 5K for Education targets teachers and staff, in addition to parents, students, and community members, and generates funds for CHCCS schools and PSF grants. The "Teachers First Breakfast and Roses" kicks off Teacher Appreciation Week every year with a wonderful breakfast for teachers and staff. Funds raised--over $90,000 last year--are used for teacher programs. • PSF has eleven endowed teaching chairs that allow us to recognize our outstanding teachers annually. • Additionally, we received funds through annual Board Campaigns and direct mail campaigns. d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: The Public School Foundation submits and receives grants for numerous educational programs annually and acts as the overseeing agent for the implementation of these programs. Specifically, PSF has funded after school tutoring at various Chapel Hill-Carrboro city Schools on some level since the creation of our Achievers' Fund in 2011. e) Other Pertinent Agency Information: The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation (PSF) is the only independent, non-profit organization that is dedicated to mobilizing community support for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. We are fundraisers and grant makers. We believe that all students deserve the best possible education and that teachers are our most valuable resource. PSF is the fiscal agent for the Blue Ribbon Mentor Advocate Program, but does not have authority over the programming. f) Schedule of Positions (For Entire Agency) • Full Time Equivalent(FTE) staff will be noted as 1.00; half time as .50; quarter time as .25, etc. • Calculate a Full Time Equivalent for all recorded volunteer hours using the following: Agency Information 1/27/2017 11:05:52 AM Page 8 of 2 2
