About Propel Schools Foundation
Propel Schools Foundation supports Propel Schools’ mission to catalyze the transformation of public education so that all children have access to high-performing public schools. The Foundation helps ensure that scholars have access to the resources, experiences and opportunities they need to thrive in school and beyond.
Through donor support, the Foundation provides opportunities and supports beyond the classroom, including K-3 literacy, Afterschool, arts programming, Scholar Opportunities, athletics, teacher development, and scholarships. In 2026, the Foundation awarded over $345,000 in scholarships, supporting scholars pursuing STEM, college, career and technical education pathways.
Get Involved
Readers can support Propel by making a gift, volunteering, sponsoring programs or events, contributing goods or resources, sharing professional expertise through career panels or reading with scholars in Afterschool. They can also schedule a school tour to experience Propel’s work firsthand.
How Support Helps
Donations give the Foundation the flexibility to invest where support can make the greatest difference for Propel scholars. Every gift helps remove barriers, open doors and ensure that a scholar’s future is not defined by circumstances, but by opportunity, potential and possibility. Together, donors help Propel create brighter futures for scholars and communities.
