About us:
SIGN UP TO ROUND UP!
The Schools Foundation, in partnership with Huntsville Utilities, has provided a simple and painless way for everyone in the area to make pocket change into a powerful mechanism to support public education.
You can authorize Huntsville Utilities to round up your monthly utility bill to the next highest dollar.
It might be a penny, it might be 25¢, at the most $12 per year. Whatever it is, it's a simpler check to have to write, a nice round amount, and that extra pocket change goes to help our schools.
SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION'S PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITY
The Schools Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals and our corporate partners to deliver quality programming.
Your support provides funding for professional development for teachers and school leaders, mock exams and Saturday Prep sessions for students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses and allows us to respond to the school district needs.
SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION ENDOWNMENT FUND
The Schools Foundation Endowment Fund will be a permanent source of capital that will provide a foundation of financial support for the Huntsville, Madison and Madison County School Districts.
We have established the endowment to become a source of sustained, long-term funding for students today and students tomorrow.
About Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Join the movement and give – each Tuesday and every day – whether it’s some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community.
Please support our local schools with programs through TSF! Some of our current programs include:
Principally Speaking Network:

The Schools Foundation recently implemented the program ReCharge Our Teachers! ReCharge Our Teachers is A TSF program which includes high quality teacher training for new tew teachers as well as online RECHARGE resources for all teachers which provides hands-on content for teachers and staff that focuses on mental health and overall wellness. The in person training and the RECHARGE resources are tailored to the needs of today's educators, providing engaging training on educational topics such as: parent communication, classroom management, effective lesson planning, student engagement and mental health strategies that will help educators navigate life’s challenges.
Throughout the year, RECHARGE will have different programs and events that engage teachers beyond the classroom.
