MISSION
The purpose of Union Schools Education Foundation is to unite our community and cultivate resources to advance the district mission of 100% graduation college and career ready.
MEET OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Union Schools Education Foundation is guided by a dedicated Board of Trustees made up of Union administrators, business professionals, and community leaders. These individuals generously share their time, expertise, and leadership to ensure Union’s students and teachers have the resources they need to succeed.
Our trustees provide more than vision—they actively oversee and manage the Foundation’s funds, ensuring that every dollar is invested responsibly and directly benefits Union Public Schools. They champion innovative ideas, support educational excellence, and work side-by-side with the community to advance Union’s mission of 100% Graduation, College & Career Ready.
We are deeply grateful for their commitment, stewardship, and passion for helping Union students thrive.

Welcome to the 2025 Union Schools Education Foundation Year in Review. This past year was one of record-breaking generosity and lasting impact, all made possible by our community of supporters.
Thanks to you, USEF awarded 165 classroom grants totaling nearly $145,000, funding projects like a new Botany School Garden & Greenhouse, a Prairie Expansion Pollinator Education Garden, sensory rooms to support student well-being, and innovative literacy and math resources.
We also expanded opportunities across the district - funding Pre-K Camp for 346 students, supporting Special Olympics and student leadership programs, and investing in Union’s College & Career Center, helping our students prepare for bright futures.
This year’s Dinner & Auction Gala raised a record $631,000, proving once again how powerful we are when we come together.
Thank you for standing with Union students and educators. Every gift, every partnership, and every moment of support fuels our mission: ensuring 100% of students graduate college and career-ready.
