Create a brighter future for the students of Peoria Public Schools
Your generosity transforms the lives of children in our schools and creates a lasting impact within our community.
Student success determines the future of the Peoria community.
Not all students have access to the resources they need to succeed. Students face a variety of obstacles, from not having enough school supplies to lacking support for higher education, which makes it harder for them to thrive socially and academically.
If students fall behind in school, their future, and the future of the Peoria community, is at stake.
