In addition to annual campaign fundraising and our endowment funds, the Ann Arbor Public Schools Educational Foundation raises funds through a variety of events. Our two primary events are a golf tournament in the late summer and a community wide celebration of innovation and excellence in the spring.

We invite you to read about the Foundation and relevant topics in the news.
