The Foundation for Glendora Unified Schools is a nonprofit organization established in 2003 by parents and community members to raise money for the Glendora Unified School District. The Foundation’s fundraising efforts are necessary to maintain the quality of public education our community expects. Since 2003, we have provided over $125,000 to the District.
 Our District is facing a potential $4.6 million in cuts for the 2008-2009 school year due to the State Budget crisis and declining enrollment. If these cuts must be made, they will impact the staffing and program offerings at every school in the District. Most importantly, these cuts could translate into increased classroom sizes, not having state-of-the-art technology, or losing an athletic or music program. To fill this gap we are asking for a tax-deductible donation of $100 for each child you have enrolled at GUSD. This is only about 50 cents per school day! Sponsorships for additional students are also encouraged. Click here to see more information. The idea of a foundation was first explored by a group of parents -- In 2003, the Foundation for Glendora Unified Schools was formed as a non-profit corporation. A Board of Directors was established in October of 2004 and is composed of representatives of various community groups. The continued goal of the Foundation is to enhance the education of Glendora's students. Our Mission The Foundation for Glendora Unified Schools is a nonprofit benefit corporation whose specific and primary purpose is to provide financial support, facilitate community involvement and enhance student learning for the Glendora Unified School District. Excellent schools are a key asset of our community. Many people move here to provide meaningful educational opportunities to their children. Even those without school age children, realize the importance of quality schools on property values. The Foundation is a working group of parents, businesses, and other community members committed to providing financial support for the Glendora Unified School District.
