OUR MISSION
The York Suburban Education Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization providing funding for innovative programs that enhance the educational experience and foster continued academic excellence for district students.
OUR HISTORY
In 2007, a small group of district residents wanted to develop a way to ensure continued success of all students in the York Suburban School system. Volunteers contacted numerous school districts throughout the state, as well as the Middle Atlantic Consortium of Education Foundations to better understand the organizational structure and workings of an education foundation.
Upon review of this information, a task force was created to develop the mission statement of what would become the York Suburban Education Foundation.
In March 2008, the York Suburban School Board unanimously approved a resolution of support for the education foundation. By the summer of 2008, the official organization was fully formed and held its first Board of Directors meeting.

STATEMENT OF NEUTRALITY
The mission of the York Suburban Education Foundation is to support the YSSD community.
As a not-for-profit organization, we accomplish this mission by providing direct assistance to classroom teachers and infrastructure for student- led initiatives that provide for the basic needs of students and families in our district. We strive to uphold a positive environment for our students, their families, our teachers, staff and administrators, in collaboration with the school board and other governing bodies that impact our work, but do not affiliate with any political organizations or causes.
