SERVE - ENRICH- SUPPORT- ENHANCE - EDUCATE
The ZM Education Foundation exists to serve and enrich our communities by supporting and enhancing learning opportunities in the ZM School District. This organization provides innovative and creative learning experiences for students by funding academic programs, activities, and resource materials which cannot be included in the normal school budget.
The Foundation is a private, non-profit organization (donations are tax-deductible) and is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of teachers, school board members, citizens, and students.
The Foundation continues to raise funds with annual fundraisers and through bequests. All of the funds stay within the ZM School District and are used for academics and fine arts. The funds are requested by teachers or citizens and are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The funds are intended for use by all students, including the gifted and those with special needs.
