Why:             To help all students achieve the promise of their potential. The Issaquah Schools Foundation raised more than $1.7 million last year to support students when they struggle, when they excel and all times in between. From leading-edge STEM curriculum to financial literacy, arts programs and after-school tutoring, the funds you donate to the Foundation ensure that kids of all abilities have the support they need to navigate their own unique paths to success. 

• Washington state ranks 43^rd of 50 states in education funding
• Issaquah is 291^st of 295 WA districts in per pupil funding from the state
• Community investment provides schools and teachers the opportunity to put funding to use where it will help students in effective and innovative ways

The Events:       The Nourish Every Mind    Luncheon will attract more than 1,000 civic and business leaders, parents and educators for an afternoon event that showcases Issaquah Schools Foundation grant recipients, celebrates the partnership between the Issaquah School District and the Foundation and informs guests of the continued and growing need for private support of public education.

The Nourish Every Mind Breakfast is a partner event to accommodate business and community members who leave the area during the workday. The Breakfast features all the highlights of the Luncheon, plus dedicated time (and space) for networking.
