The Lower Dauphin Falcon Foundation, a not-forprofit organization, was established in 2006 to foster greater community support in the education and development of the students in LDSD. Its purpose as an independent public charitable organization is to encourage community-wide participation and philanthropy to enhance and expand enrichment opportunities for all students in LDSD. It is the goal of the foundation to ensure longrange financial flexibility for schools within the district. The focus of the Falcon Foundation is to develop pathways by which stakeholders in the district’s community can make available resources to existing and future academic as well as extracurricular programs to meet identified needs and interests of students.
