How We Raise Money
For Northshore Students

The Foundation is funded solely by private contributions.  Its two major fundraisers are the Calling for Kids Phonathon (November) and the “Light a Fire for Learning” community luncheon (May). Additional funds come from generous donors through workplace giving campaigns (United Way) and corporate partnerships as well as individual and corporate donors.
