Fundraising
The Griffith Education Foundation is dedicated to enriching the educational experience for all students in the Griffith Public Schools. Through innovative teacher grants, we fund programs and projects that inspire creativity, elevate instruction, and make a lasting impact in the classroom.
There are many meaningful ways to support our mission—and your contribution can also honor someone special. When you make a donation to the Griffith Education Foundation, you may choose to recognize an individual affiliated with Griffith schools. That person will receive a personalized card featuring your name, a thoughtful message from you, and a commemorative apple pin as a symbol of gratitude and recognition.
Your gift is fully tax-deductible and goes directly toward fostering excellence in teaching and learning. To contribute and help us continue empowering educators and students, simply complete and return the attached form.
Together, we can shape a stronger future—one classroom at a time.

The Education License Plate
Get a plate. Support a classroom. Show your pride while you drive!
Purchasing a “Hoosier Family of Readers” license plate puts money back into your local school district. Nearly $19 of the specialty plate’s administration fee is sent to your selected school’s education foundation. In turn, the foundation uses those funds for teacher grants and innovative programs that enhance learning for all students in the district. When you purchase an Education specialty plate and designate your school district, funds are directed to the district’s education foundation by the county auditor.
