Let’s Work Together To Change Kids’ Lives
Please consider a monetary gift.
Foundation 65 strives to empower our educators to make a difference for the children of District 65 — but we can’t do it on our own.
Hundreds of Evanston community members have invested in Foundation 65 programs. Foundation 65 is an independent nonprofit that funds opportunities beyond what public funding can provide.
Your gift of $50 buys materials for an after-school project. $100 supports educators led innovation. $500+ expands a high-impact program across schools.

Other Ways You Can Help
Corporate Matching
Corporate matching can double or even triple your donation's impact. Many companies match their employees' charitable contributions, making your gift go further in supporting our mission. Check with your employer to see if they offer a matching program and help us make an even greater difference.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged investment account dedicated to charitable giving. You can contribute cash or assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and support Foundation 65 on your own schedule.
DAFs offer flexibility, allowing one-time or recurring gifts to one or multiple charities, all from a single account. They are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.
Foundation 65 can now process donor-advised funds through our payment portal.
