History
In late 2007, then-District Superintendent John Currie had the idea to form a foundation for District 196 to provide scholarships and professional development for staff, students and school community members. After months of work by volunteers and district staff, on June 26, 2008, the District 196 Foundation was formed and received its Certificate of Incorporation from the Minnesota Secretary of State. Shortly thereafter, the Foundation received its tax-exempt status from the IRS. While our mission is now focused on eliminating barriers to learning through food, books and musical instruments, we continue to partner closely with district staff to help fund critical needs.
