The Greendale Education Foundation was established in 1998 to generate financial support to provide educational opportunities for students. Its efforts have resulted in funding more than $300,000 to various education initiatives in the school system. The Foundation has funded classroom technology, music, arts and theater programs, financial literacy programming, health and wellness projects, historic field trip opportunities, co-curricular activity seed money, and other projects that strengthen programs crucial to student education and development.

The Foundation’s KidBoosters Program was founded in the summer of 2012 in response to the increasing number of Greendale children and families living in difficult financial circumstances. It operates as a means to advocate on behalf of children and families who need assistance with basic necessities for success in school.
