We support programs

that are not available to

our students through the

district’s normal budget.

Established in 1992, the Foundation has a $3.1 million endowment that serves as a long-term investment in the education of our children.

We offer grants to teachers

and staff that support projects

that are original, pioneering,

and innovative.

In the past year,

$463,000 was distributed to the Fayetteville Public Schools through the support of donors from the Fayetteville. Public Education Foundation.

$16,000in scholarships to

Fayetteville High School seniors or graduates to study

in areas such as english, creative writing, education,

math, science or study abroad.

$263,000through corporate gifts, grants and

donations. Strong support from local businesses, community organizations

and individuals provide a sound investment in the future of our children

and the vitality of our city.

$184,000through our annual grant

allocation. The Foundation accepts grant requests that

provide students, kindergarten through twelfth grade, with educational experiences to

help them reach theirfull potential.

give to education

There seemed to be no greater way to honor our beloved mother, Becky Knight, and the legacy she created than to establish an endowment that would bring resources to Special Education students in Fayetteville, both today and far into the future.

Our mother, Becky, was not just a passionate educator; she was truly an unsung hero. Her talent to serve students with authority, grace and compassion, facilitated incredible, empowering transformations.

After her passing last year, our family immediately committed to furthering her mission of hope students. Successful Special Education programs require access to additional specialty programs, materials, and resources. It is our hope to continue to provide more of these essential resources each year through the endowment. The Becky Knight Memorial Fund will help to transform the lives and educations of the students of Fayetteville, just as we watched our mom transform the lives of her students each day she entered the classroom.
