D41 Kids Foundation
Funding Local Enrichment Opportunities

In an era in which public education and its revenue are increasingly at risk from national and state sources, we recognized an opportunity to engage community members, administrators, teachers and alumni to impact and transform the lives of students by providing economic resources that support and enrich our public schools. Establishing an educational foundation for our district provides our community with a powerful means for funding these opportunities.

 As the African proverb states, “It takes a village to raise a child.” We have taken that to heart and commit to investing in our children and creating opportunities so those children can thrive and reach their full potential. 

 As a PEP™ organization, D41 Kids Foundation is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization of District 41 parents and community members who believe that every child is worth our investment. Drawn from private funding through donations, we offer grants for students, teachers, and schools to create an impact in the classroom by enabling innovation, exploring creative experiences, and fostering lifelong learning in our students. These grants provide opportunities above and beyond what the district can provide.

Join us as we launch this new effort to invest in the children of District 41 in the communities of Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, Glen Ellyn, Lombard and Wheaton.
