Educational Foundation


The Benzie County Central Schools Educational Foundation, Inc. has one goal:  Improving education over the long term.

The Foundation is seeing an endowment fund of $500,000 by the year 2002.  The interest from this fund will support established programs and assist in expansion to reach new goals.  A sampling of these goals includes year round enrichment and recreational programming for all ages, additional scholarships, enhancement of current curriculum and the hosting of multicultural experiences such as an artist in residence.
