“The Foundation is proud to recognize and support these exciting programs for students,” Steven Reynolds, chairperson of the CCSF Board, said. “Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re making a difference in our classrooms.”

The Carson City Schools Foundation (CCSF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting community involvement and investment in the public schools of Carson City. This project is one of the many results of the “Empower Carson City 2022 Strategic Plan” — a five-year strategic plan for extraordinary schools built by the community of Carson City.

CCSF was created to increase student achievement through philanthropic investment and involvement. Established by the Carson City School District’s Board of Trustees, the foundation promotes education programs that traditional funding sources may not be able to reach.
