Together, we help PLCS kids
The PLCS Foundation was started by volunteers in 1986 to address a need for quality before-and after-school care for working families. Today, it is a well-established, 501(c)3 charitable organization; the only non-profit organization that exists to exclusively help PLCS students - all 12,000 of them - no matter their interests or the schools they attend.
Funding Priorities
We’re serve all PLCS students and staff through a variety of impactful programs.
These summarize our funding priorities:
▸ Student & Staff Well-being
Helping kids thrive in school is our priority. When setbacks occur and help is needed fast, our donors make sure that care is available.
▸ Student Learning Opportunities
Every student benefits from Foundation support. Assistance spans all PLCS schools and all grade levels.
▸ Partner Fundraising Assistance
We support PTOs, booster clubs, and fundraising partners with guidance, resources, and collaborative assistance to help maximize their impact for students.
