Why Your Support Matters

Did you know that Sioux City Public Schools ranks second-to-last in Iowa for per-student funding from voteable tax dollars? Because our funding is tied to enrollment—and restricted in how it can be used—many essential needs go unmet. Your participation in this event helps fill those gaps, funding critical educational priorities in Arts & Culture, Career and Technical Education, STEM, and Student Services and Support. Together, we help students not only earn a diploma but graduate with a plan for the future.

The Sioux City Public Schools Foundation is a tax-deductible 501 (c) 3 organization. EIN# is 26-2524675.
