Education is the heart of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community, and nothing contributes more to our future than the quality of education we provide for our children. Strong schools mean a strong community, and that’s why the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation has spent over four decades ensuring every student, every teacher, every school has the resources to succeed.

To date, the Foundation has invested over $20 million in scholarships, professional development for educators, and creative classroom projects that otherwise would not exist. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all donations are tax-deductible, responsibly managed, and audited annually to ensure every contribution has maximum impact.
