OUR MISSION<br />
Enhance the potential <strong>of</strong> students<br />
Promote excellence in teaching<br />
Inspire innovation in education<br />
Guided by strategic philanthropy.<br />
EVERY WEEK, it seems, vibrant <strong>Sarasota</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong>, Florida, lands at the top <strong>of</strong> another<br />
superlatives list.<br />
Residents and businesses <strong>for</strong>tunate to call<br />
this area home have become accustomed<br />
to accolades: best beaches, restaurants,<br />
art, neighborhoods, health care and a<br />
top-notch public school system.<br />
The link between highly rated schools<br />
and the <strong>Sarasota</strong> area’s array <strong>of</strong> honors is<br />
not surprising. Study after study shows that<br />
communities that prioritize public education<br />
are healthier, wealthier and<br />
more adaptable.<br />
Focused exclusively on<br />
public schools since our<br />
founding in 1988, the<br />
<strong>Education</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sarasota</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> has been a partner with<br />
<strong>Sarasota</strong> <strong>County</strong> Schools, investing in<br />
innovative programs and initiatives that<br />
enrich the learning experience <strong>for</strong> countless<br />
students and teachers. They, in turn, spread<br />
newly discovered ideas, methods, facts<br />
and expertise beyond the classroom.<br />
No question about it. In words and<br />
deeds, <strong>Sarasota</strong> <strong>County</strong> citizens have an<br />
enviable track record <strong>of</strong> demonstrating a<br />
keen appreciation <strong>for</strong> education as an<br />
essential underpinning <strong>of</strong> a flourishing<br />
community. Against this laudatory<br />
backdrop, the <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is<br />
inspiring the community to join us in<br />
raising our sights even higher to propel<br />
our students and teachers <strong>for</strong>ward. The<br />
<strong>Education</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is prepared to<br />
expand and amplify the dialogue on<br />
education in the community. By working<br />
together, we can go “all-out” to aspire<br />
higher and stimulate positive, innovative<br />
learning experiences <strong>for</strong> all students.<br />
The <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> invests in innovative programs and initiatives<br />
that enrich the learning experience <strong>for</strong> countless students and teachers.
