Help Us Celebrate Our Silver Anniversary

Since 1996, the Franklin Educational Foundation funded almost $1.4 million in grants and scholarships for Franklin Public Schools. Through 2021, we will share at least 25 stories about some of our favorite grants, hear from educators who have benefited from some of these grants over the years, and connect with businesses and community members on their experiences with the Foundation. If you have a story to share, please send us a note at foundation@franklin.k12.wi.us.

Donate your shoes and help raise funds

We are once again partnering with Fund2Org to host our district-wide shoe drive.  All you have to do is donate gently-used shoes of any size and type at our drive through event at the High School. Funds2Org will then compensate us for the collected shoes and redistribute throughout a network of micro-enterprise (small business) partners in third-world countries.

The goal is to collect 2,500 pairs of shoes. We will be collecting shoes from 10am-1pm on March 20 and April 10 in front of Franklin High School. For questions, visit our foundation website.
