The Lewisburg area is fortunate to have a school system that has been a source of pride in the community for generations. Our schools are immensely important local assets that make the community attractive to businesses and new residents. Lewisburg area schools are known for high quality teaching, diverse athletic and extra-curricular activities, high-level test results and outstanding college placement.
Yet, despite this consistent success, the school district faces challenges. A key goal for the district is to keep elementary class sizes small which leaves less available funding for other district priorities. A funding environment limited by unpredictable government support has made it prohibitive for both programmatic and capital advancement. While the district is blessed with steady employment, it is constrained in its tax base by a lack of commercial enterprise in favor of government and not for profit employers. Yet,
challenges often present opportunities.
THE GREEN DRAGON FOUNDATION
Founded in 2008, the Foundation is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to enhance our student experience, assist our teachers and staff, and enrich our community by raising funds to support the priorities of the Lewisburg Area School District.
To further its support of programmatic priorities within the Lewisburg Area School District (LASD) and to enhance existing and planned capital projects, The Green Dragon Foundation (Foundation) seeks to raise significant funds to accomplish this.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The Foundation seeks support through gift commitments for capital improvement projects, long-term investment through endowment, and multi-year support for the Foundation and LASD programs. The Foundation seeks to raise support in four main areas. These are: Annual Fund Support, Capital Improvement Projects, Program Endowments and Outright Program Support (annual “pass through” gifts).
The Foundation offers donors a variety of district-wide naming opportunities. It is also offering naming opportunities with its endowments.
