Kulm Public School Foundation
In the Spring of 2014, voters in the Kulm School District approved a building addition and renovation of the current elementary school by an overwhelming 82%. With their YES vote, district residents sent a strong message regarding their faith in the future of our school and community.
The Kulm Public School Foundation was established in 2014 to provide donors with a way to make tax-deductible donations to benefit the Kulm Public School District #7. The fund will assist the school district in accomplishing its mission by helping to pay for various projects and programs outside of the school’s regular expenditures.
- About
- Leave a Legacy
The Kulm Public School Foundation was created in 2014 to support the Kulm School District by paying for projects and programs that are outside regular school expenditures. Because the fund is associated with the North Dakota Community Foundation, donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of state and federal law.
Right now, our focus is on funding a handful of upgrades that would be valuable additions to the current building project.
Current Projects
During the current building phase, we have a goal to raise $230,000 in funds for the following upgrades:
- Bleacher Upgrade (backrests) $10,000
- Wall Mats for the gym $15,000
- Gym air-conditioning $45,000
- Scoreboards $14,000
- Theatre stage curtain $10,000
- Classroom furnishings $10,500 or 1,500/classroom
- Library furnishings $10,000
