BABYLON VILLAGE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
P.O. BOX 127 BABYLON, NY 11702
CREATED TO ENRICH PUBLIC EDUCATION
PURPOSE The purpose of the BABYLON VILLAGE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION is to foster a partnership among parents, schools, alumni, business and the entire community. The primary focus is to enhance and enrich the quality of education for each and every child in the Babylon Village Schools. The BABYLON VILLAGE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION evolved after much research into the profiles of the types of communities that receive grants for education. Many of the communities similar to the demographic make up of our village have created school foundations. This kind of foundation is a not-for-profit, tax exempt entity that can attract funds from individuals and corporations while allowing the maximum tax deduction to the donor. What this foundation enables us to do is grow as a community. By creating it, we will be able to seek and accept grants otherwise unavailable to us and provide a tax shelter for those individuals wishing to make a contribution to our schools. The Foundation will provide a focus for support to augment current and future needs and promote positive community / school / staff relations. PRESENT Our village is a unique, caring community. We want to be able to provide all our children with the best educational opportunities available. The Foundation is seeking motivated and interested community members to volunteer their time, expertise, ideas and financial support to this worthwhile effort. We are exploring many innovative ideas for future projects. There is a program already in the works called "Book Bags," which provides books to preschoolers. It is designed to encourage both reading and familiarity with the school environment, inviting our youngest community members into the elementary school.
