Renton Schools Foundation

About Us

The Renton Schools Foundation enhances educational opportunities for all Renton School District students by providing financial support through the fostering of community partnerships. With deep community support, the Foundation helps bridge the gap between inadequate state and federal funding and the cost of high-quality learning opportunities for every child, every day in every classroom. The Foundation supports learning opportunities that increase engagement for students and are of high interest in our community: STEM, literacy, music and arts. The Foundation also empowers educators to innovate with annual teacher grants and equips elementary principals to respond to families’ emergent needs through a low-barrier Principal’s Emergency Fund.

Our current focus is funding:
• STEM Education - Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
• Music & Arts
• Literacy
• Teacher Grants
• Principal's Emergency Fund

RSF is led by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, representative of parents, teachers, alumni, business owners, and community leaders who share a passion for and are invested in the quality of education in our community. RSF also employs an Executive Director (new as of September 2026) and a high school intern. We look forward to connecting with community partners as we enter this new chapter of growth.
