Our Mission

Ensuring more teachers, classes and experiences for all Lake Oswego students. With your help we can make a difference. Learn more and get involved.

Welcome Back to the 2024-25 School Year!

Look for more information coming in the mail and at back-to-school night regarding the amazing work the Foundation is doing to support teaching positions at LOSD and how you can get involved (ways to contribute).


Phone-athon, Volunteers Needed, October 15-17

Because we receive so much less in state funding, we need parent and community support to fund what makes our schools so special: our excellent teachers and breadth of programs. Help support our mission of more teachers, classes and experiences by reaching out to district families to gain their support. Please review the available slots below. 

Phone-athon Volunteer Sign Up: October 15-17

Dinner and training provided. Thank you!


Your Contributions Go a Long Way

Foundation support is a big reason why Lake Oswego schools have consistently ranked number one in the state, and among the top in the nation. With your gifts the Foundation provides to each and every student in the Lake Oswego School District:

  • More teachers and educational experience than what state and local taxes can provide
  • Teachers for music, reading, art, science and technology
  • Music instruction for every elementary student K-5
  • Additional reading support for students with greater needs in K-2
  • Greater exposure in grades 6-12 to electives such as Robotics, Architecture, Oceanography, Performing Arts, to name just a few!

We need your support to continue to provide our kids the incredible education Lake Oswego offers. Please consider a gift or pledge your support today.


Did you know?

LOSD receives about $850 less per student, per year than other districts. Your gifts help bridge the funding gap and fund vital teaching positions. Please go here to learn more about the impact of Measure 5.

Let's talk about five ways to spread joy and positivity everywhere you go, that you can practice every day!

No matter what kind of stress we’re experiencing, the better we can learn to cope in a healthy way, the more successfully we’ll be able to manage.

Whether you have a little or a lot of free time, there’s no better way to spend it than by getting out there and making a difference.
