Hosted By

Northshore Schools Foundation



We are Northshore Area (Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville) school age parents, extended community residents, businesses, municipalities, and area-wide supporters of our schools and students. We are the Northshore community, and we seek to enhance learning opportunities for all Northshore students through our district-wide fundraising efforts.  We use these funds to support critical needs of the Northshore School District.

We are a non-profit organization originally founded in 1995 as the Northshore Public Education Foundation (NPEF). In 2009, the organization changed its name to the Northshore Schools Foundation (Foundation).  The Foundation operates separately from the Northshore School District (NSD) and is funded solely through private contributions. We partner with the NSD, individual schools, parent groups, local businesses and corporations and the community-at-large to enhance learning opportunities for all Northshore students.
