It is the policy of the Salt Lake City School District Board of Education to provide adequate supplies, materials, and equipment for basic instructional programs by equitably distributing public resources to benefit all students in the district. The board encourages citizens to contribute to this effort directly by volunteering their time, expertise, energy, and financial support to the public schools in Salt Lake City.

It is also the board’s policy to enhance basic educational programs by seeking and effectively managing resources donated by granting agencies and individuals. To this end, the board has established the Salt Lake City Education Foundation to accept gifts and to solicit funds from citizens, businesses, foundations, and organizations.  Donations and gifts can also be directed to the Salt Lake City School Board of Education, the Salt Lake City School District, and/or a specific school, program, or service.  All donations, contributions, and gifts become the legal property of the school district.

The purpose of this policy is to enrich and facilitate student success by coordinating and managing donations to support and enrich publicly funded educational programs.
