Cedar Falls Community School District

Our Mission

The Cedar Falls Community Schools Foundation is a nonprofit corporation established to enhance "A Tradition of Excellence" and support the Cedar Falls Community School District by generating resources and advocating for quality public education.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the challenges of educating our students are too large and too important to rely on tax dollars alone. We recognize the need for additional financial support to ensure "A Tradition of Excellence."

Dr. David Stoakes, Superintendent

Who We Are

The Cedar Falls Community Schools Foundation is an Iowa nonprofit corporation for the sole benefit of the Cedar Falls Community School District and is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
