Mission Statement

The Grenora Public School Foundation seeks to challenge and encourage all students to become lifelong learners and effective decision makers.

About the Grenora Public School Foundation

The Grenora Public School created the Grenora Public School Foundation in March 2012 to supplement the funding of projects that will “improve students' learning and life experience.”  This project fund provides donors with a way to make tax-deductible donations for the benefit of the Grenora Public School District.

Our area in northwest North Dakota is a dynamic environment, with changes happening rapidly.  In the mid 2000’s, the school’s K-12 enrollment at Grenora Public School was 44 students.  That number has now grown, approaching 200 students.  This growth in an oil boom economy, changing requirements in education, and the passion of many, drive the need for improved school resources and facilities.  See our Projects link for needs we are filling with funds from generous donors to the Foundation, as well as projects we’d like to see funded.

Donations to Grenora Public School Foundation through the North Dakota Community Foundation are tax deductible.  The NDCF is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) statewide public non-profit tax-exempt corporation that receives and distributes charitable funds to support a wide range of programs, which benefit North Dakotans, including our students at Grenora Public School through the Grenora Public School Foundation.

The Grenora Public School Foundation is a component fund of the North Dakota Community Foundation. NDCF works in conjuction with the GPSF advisory committee to ensure donations are managed properly, oversees approval of  appropriate projects, and helps assist with marketing and fundraising programs.
