About Us
Our Mission
Support and Stewardship
The Foundation provides financial support which makes possible special projects, activities, and scholarships that differentiate our school experience and enrich the lives of our students. The Foundation is also responsible for the stewardship of the building which it owns and maintaining it as a healthy and safe environment.
Our Mission Statement
Our Mission is to support the Russell Byers Charter School through a robust fundraising program. The Foundation wants to ensure the joy and fun of learning are part of everyday life. The Foundation is also committed to the future of its graduates and through the Ours for Life program maintains an ongoing relationship, encouraging them to become the school leaders of the future.
Our Projects
In addition to supporting larger capital improvements to the school, like our Play Yard, we fund local field trips, life altering out of town travel experiences, and scholarships that help our graduates access the best high schools. Some of last school years’s programming included:
- 1st grade field trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show
- Middle school trip to Washington, DC
- Middle school trip to New York City
- 40 scholarships valued close to 200K awarded
