What is the Austin Eagle Foundation?
The Austin Eagle Foundation, founded in 2013, bridges the gap between student needs at Austin Elementary and the funding received each year by the State and District. Funds are raised through monetary donations and 100% is kept within the school for enhanced academic engagement and student support.

How does the Foundation benefit our school?
The Austin Eagle Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that supplements student, staff and school needs which are not covered by county or state funding. These funds are used to enhance our children’s learning experience at Austin. A major goal of the Foundation is to allow for more individualized support for our students by providing additional teacher resources and technology support. Your donations not only assist the daily operations of our school, but also provide for long-term investments in Austin's students, faculty and facilities. This support provides an optimal environment for growth and learning in our school.
