We Can't Do This Without Your Help!
By investing in the KCI, you are providing crucial support that allows us to maintain our programs and continue to train thousands of our region’s teachers so they can go back to the classroom and inspire their students.
Donations at all levels translate into meeting specific needs—whether it is supporting groups of teachers to attend the KCI’s year long programs, supporting one teacher, supplying technology, or supporting KCI operations. We'll allocate your gift to meet our most pressing needs. Please contact us if your interest is in supporting one of our specific programs.
Your support is crucial. Only 10% of our funding comes from the Foothill-De Anza District (primarily for facilities), with another 10% from state lottery funding—the remaining 80% comes from the generous donations of people like you.
Your donation of any amount is gratefully appreciated. You can customize your gift on our donation form. Make a credit card donation on the Foothill Foundation secure donation page,* designating the Krause Center for Innovation as shown below. You will receive an immediate email confirmation of your donation, as well as a hard copy letter.
75% of donors contributed $150 or more.
Please join them and make California's teachers more effective and inspiring.
* KCI is under the fiscal sponsorship of the Foothill-De Anza Community Colleges Foundation, a 501(c)3 auxiliary organization that seeks and sustains philanthropic support for programs that advance student success.
We also offer sponsorship packages to help you gain recognition as a champion of top quality teacher training while promoting your brand to teachers throughout California.
