The Education Foundation

The Education Foundation for Clinton City and Anderson County Schools works closely with our partner school districts to enhance instruction in our community’s schools. The work of the Education Foundation focuses much of our efforts on providing the tools teachers need beyond those provided by local tax revenues.

The Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization managed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Donors may designate their contributions to support any of the following programs operated by the Education Foundation:

Instructional Grants – Educators from Clinton City and Anderson County Schools may apply for Instructional Grants from July through March in each school year. These grants are for a maximum of $1,000 and provide funding for teachers to enhance their present instructional activities or develop a new creative approach in their classrooms. The grants are awarded monthly through the work of the Education Foundation’s Grants Committee.

Health & Wellness Grants – Educators from Clinton City and Anderson County Schools may apply for Health & Wellness Grants each year in November. The Health & Wellness Grants provide funding that improve the physical and mental health of our students. These grants are for a maximum of $1,000 with the funding generated from the Annual Clinton 5K each October.

Early Post-Secondary Opportunities Grants – The Education Foundation works with educators from Anderson County High School and Clinton High School to provide funding for emergency needs of students who are planning to enroll in Early Post-Secondary Opportunities at Roane State Community College or the Tennessee College of Applied Technology.

Teacher Supply Depot – The Teacher Supply Depot is a project of the Education Foundation that provides free supplies and materials to educators in Clinton City and Anderson County Schools. The Teacher Supply Depot is open four dates each year to provide these supplies and materials to local educators. Donations of school supplies, materials, or financial gifts all allow the shelves to be stocked to serve classroom needs.

Scholarships – The Education Foundation collaborates with several families to be the fiscal agent of scholarship programs at Anderson County High School, Clinton High School, and the Innovation Academy.

Special Needs – The Education Foundation works with donors who want to make contributions to meet a special need across either school district, or at a specific school. Those needs have ranged from paying for after-school tutoring to equipment purchases for individual schools or a system-wide department.

The Education Foundation for Clinton City and Anderson County Schools welcomes the opportunity to work with donors to continue to meet classroom needs in our schools.
