 The goals of the National Center for Public and Private School Foundations at the University of Northern Iowa are responsive to the rapid growth of school foundations and research findings on school foundations and are designed around the needs of local public school districts and private schools as they seek to build relationships, and impact the education of children by establishing and sustaining school foundations. The goals of the National Center for Public and Private School Foundations are to: 1. Link people and organizations in their communities with public and private schools, developing awareness and support through school foundations. 2. Assist public and private schools, through the development of school foundations, in generating more flexible funding for education, closing the gap between higher-income and lower-income districts. 3. Assist public and private school personnel across the United States in designing, operating, and sustaining school foundations. 4. Provide direction and expertise to local foundations specifically in the areas critical to the development and management of school foundations: legal issues, foundation startup, the relationship of a school foundation to other organizations, organization and management, policies and procedures, and fundraising strategies. 5. Facilitate the professional development of school foundation leadership specifically in the areas of strategic planning and the ability to work effectively with the board. 6. Conduct on-going action research and assimilate existing research on school foundations and the critical elements for their success. 7. Increase the capacity for K-12 public and private schools in America to raise funding to allow them to meet emerging needs.
