Hays USD 489

Funding

The USD 489 Foundation for Educational Excellence provides an opportunity for alumni, parents, businesses, and supporters of our schools to enhance our children’s education through monetary, estate, and in-kind donations.

Through private, charitable contributions, we can improve the academic experience of each student by supplying and enhancing facilities and services not available through public funding. Together, we can ensure a legacy of excellence. The Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation that qualifies for tax-exempt contributions. Your contribution will assist in the completion of a multitude of projects for USD 489 and the Hays community, benefitting more than 3,500 students and employees.
