Facility Enhancements

Great Falls voters were generous in supporting a bond issue for school construction projects. The Foundation is proud to add value to that effort by facilitating private donations to furnish and equip the new spaces and to refurbish existing spaces. Philanthropic families and businesses are creating a legacy of educational excellence through their gifts.

To contribute or to learn more about the GFPS building projects currently in the works or any future projects contact GFPS Foundation, Executive Director Stephanie Schnider at (406) 268-6021 or [email protected] or contact us at the Foundation at [email protected].
