Annual Appeal
The Achieve Foundation appreciates the fact that 80% of its funds comes from the local community. Achieve’s annual fundraising appeal rallies support for its programs, which help foster equal educational opportunities for all SOMSD students. In addition to volunteer tutors, educator grants and fellowships, and new technology, the foundation also pilots programs that are later adopted by the school district (e.g., Computer Assisted Design, Robotics and Beyond the Bell after school enrichment). We thank all the local residents, businesses, and organizations that contribute generously to Achieve’s general fund.
