Dear IUSD Community,
The Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) is proud to partner with the Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF) in our shared commitment to educational excellence. You can support IPSF’s mission to enrich the educational experience of our students by participating in the annual giving campaign, which begins with IPSF Giving Day on October 16 and continues through the end of December. By funding programs that support science, technology, engineering, art, music, mental health, and more, IPSF furthers our commitment to ensuring that students are prepared for college, career, and life.
IPSF Makes a Difference for Students
Your support of IPSF has a direct impact on our classrooms, where it matters most. Contributions provide additional instructional assistants at the elementary level, improving student-to-educator ratios. In our middle and high schools, class-size support funds allow for augmented course offerings and smaller classes in critical subject areas. IPSF also supports music education from pre-kindergarten through grade six, and grants that foster innovation within IUSD. IPSF’s support for IUSD’s health and wellness programs includes funding athletic trainers at every high school and contributing to districtwide mental health resources. The Foundation also offers affordable, high-quality afterschool and summer programs to expand learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
Double Your Impact
When you give to IPSF, your contributions are maximized through the City of Irvine’s Challenge Match Grant. The City will match every donation made to IPSF, up to $1.3 million, giving IPSF the opportunity to potentially raise more than $2.5 million for IUSD students and schools.

IPSF Giving Day

Thank you again for your investment in our schools.
