Shaker Schools Foundation • SSF was the first foundation in Ohio to support a public school system when it launched in 1981. • SSF covers what tax dollars cannot, enriching and expanding opportunities for learning — in and beyond classrooms. • SSF raises and distributes funds for academics, arts, athletics, student opportunity assistance, technology and co-curriculars. Through the generous support of individual donors, community partners and grants from corporations and foundations, we are able to make a difference in the lives of all Shaker students at every grade level throughout the Shaker Heights City School District.
