The Underwood GT Magnet Elementary School Foundation is a volunteer-run nonprofit that funds the teachers, specialists, and programs that make Underwood special.
To maintain the excellence of Underwood's school program by supporting initiatives that recruit and retain quality teachers, enable and strengthen instructional programming, and sustain the educational environment.
Every gift is put to work for the school, through a simple process the board follows each year.
Each spring, Underwood's principal shares the programs and positions the school wants to strengthen for the coming year.
Our volunteer directors review each request and vote on how Foundation funds will be used.
The Foundation usually makes one gift at the end of each school year, so the school can plan for the next one.
