YOUR GIFT OPENS DOORS

The Shaker Schools Foundation exists to expand opportunities for every student, and none of it happens without donors like you. Your gifts create experiences that help students discover new possibilities for themselves and their future.

  • Classroom Learning: technology for hands-on learning, SEL programs, supplies, and equipment for a new curriculum
  • Innovative Teaching: enrichment grants for field trips, author visits, and other tools for creative study and exploration
  • Opportunities for All: direct student support for extracurricular activities and youth sports, and assistance for domestic international travel
  • Career Exploration: entrepreneurship, mentoring, job-shadowing, and leadership experiences


Thank you for opening doors today that will continue to shape the lives of Shaker students for years to come.
