The mission of the Omaha Schools Foundation is to provide students and staff of the Omaha Public Schools academic programs, enrichment activities and professional opportunities which are beyond the budget constraints of the Omaha School District.

Accomplishment of this mission supports the curriculum of the Omaha Public Schools and helps sustain this community's tradition of excellence in integrated living and learning.

To carry out this mission, the Omaha Schools Foundation seeks private and corporate contributions and gifts. The Foundation also develops proposals for projects and programs for presentation to private, corporate and philanthropic organizations for sponsorship and funding.

The Omaha Schools Foundation is recognized as a tax exempt organization under Section 501 (C3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is incorporated under Nebraska Law as a nonprofit corporation. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors, all residents of the Omaha School District.

The Omaha Board of Education created the Omaha Schools Foundation in 1984 as a vehicle for enriching the educational experiences of Omaha Public Schools' students.
