The Fairfield School District in Winnsboro, S.C. established its first Education Foundation in 2018. Because our state and nation are currently faced with a serious teacher shortage, especially in rural districts, our Foundation's first priority is to build the state’s first residential village for Educators. Driving to rural counties every day is a real detriment to recruiting and retaining teachers, and we believe providing safe, attractive housing options will give Fairfield a real advantage in attracting outstanding teachers to join with us in providing an excellent education for our children.
Our second goal for this year is to raise funds for student scholarships, faculty research, and special educational opportunities. The Foundation intends to work towards establishing an endowment, which will allow the Foundation to use a portion of the earned investment income from the corpus each year and allow this endowment to grow each year in perpetuity. Our Foundation is currently working hard to submit grants locally and nationally and to inform businesses and individual donors as to how they can help make a difference for our Fairfield School District.
