This document summarizes the work of the Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF), a non-profit organization that partners with the Irvine Unified School District. The IPSF raises private funds to support educational programs in areas like music, science, technology and afterschool/summer programs. It discusses challenges facing the school district like growing enrollment and being one of the lowest state-funded districts. The IPSF has donated over $50 million since 1996 to help address needs and support student success. Businesses are encouraged to partner with and support the IPSF in order to help students and receive promotional benefits.
