Raytown Educational Foundation



The Raytown Educational Foundation provides financial support for innovative educational projects and for academic incentives in Raytown Quality Schools.

We invite you to explore our website and learn more about what we do. The Foundation is a community effort: we truly do believe that exceptional schools mean an exceptional community. With that in mind we are always working to broaden our reach and heartily welcome your participation by way of your time or financial contributions.

Help support the work of the Raytown Educational Foundation by making your travel arrangements through our Online Travel Website. Here's how it works: the website is powered by Travelocity and a percentage of the travel royalties earned will go to the Raytown Educational Foundation. You will get the same great deals that you would get by going directly through Travelocity but you will also be contributing to the Foundation without any additional cost to you:

The Foundation Board of Trustees is made up of a wide range of Raytown community people, including employees and retirees of the school district. We are dedicated to supporting our school district and are working hard to build the Foundation so that it can be an even greater resource for Raytown children.

We focus on helping students reach beyond the expected in their academic goals and dreams through projects, scholarships and student incentives not possible through traditional education funding.

Such initiatives begin as early as preschool with funding for innovative classroom projects and incentives for the youngest students in preschool and elementary, reaching into the secondary levels. Support for students continues beyond high school via scholarships for college and/or technical/vocational career institutions.

The Foundation currently manages more than $8,000 in post high school scholarships, as well as grants/incentives programs, to meet the Foundation's Vision Statement.

  • Raytown C-2 students will have opportunities and experiences
    that will prepare them to be contributing members in the community.

The Foundation awards teacher grants totaling over $10,000 annually to fulfill the Foundation's Mission Statement.

  • The Raytown Educational Foundation exists to support unique programs
    that enhance the tradition of excellence in the Raytown Quality Schools.
