The Foundation for Edmonds School District
At the Foundation, we care for our children and our District. An essential partner for the Edmonds School District, we help provide education to children, fill in all-important gaps, and connect families and individuals to much needed resources.
We develop connections with community partners and build bridges to sustainable funding so that every child has equal access to opportunities to reach their potential and fulfill their dreams.
The Foundation funds essential programs that support our students, families, and educators, including:
- Classroom and Schoolwide Grants,
- Stipends,
- Scholarships for post secondary education, and
- Nourishing Network serves hungry and homeless students and families.

Yes! For ESD Kids
Yes! For ESD Kids: Yes! for ESD Kids is the parent and community-led volunteer group that advocates on behalf of school elections. This is a huge year for levies and bonds! On February 13th a special election will be held featuring two ballot measures: Proposition 1 – Capital Projects Bond, and Proposition 2 - Replacement Technology Levy.
At Yes! for ESD Kids, their work is to help ensure passage of educational program replacement levies and school facility construction bonds. Your support and monthly contribution help fund their efforts. They’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal for this year’s campaign. They’re already nearly half-way there, and they need your help! Please consider supporting Yes! for ESD Kids by making a financial contribution that is personally meaningful to you.
Thank you for your daily efforts that make our schools great and for your ongoing support of the Yes! For ESD Kids committee. They are humbled and excited to work with you to make the district stronger.
