About the Ralston Schools Foundation
The Ralston Schools Foundation (RSF) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization founded in 1983 to provide financial and other support to the Ralston Public Schools. The Foundation serves as a provider of scholarships and financial support for special projects within the school district. RSF hosts an annual golf outing and the annual Heart of Learning Banquet which celebrates teachers and staff within the school district. The Foundation also holds records of Ralston alumni.
The Ralston Schools Foundation operates the Ralston School Age Child Care Program called Lil’ Rams and the Ralston Early Childhood Learning Center called Tiny Rams. Lil' & Tiny Rams is a primary part of the operation of the Foundation. It provides affordable before and after school care for children within Ralston Public Schools and community. It also maintains a full-time summer program. Net proceeds from the child care programs go towards the Foundation’s altruistic programs within the Ralston Public Schools.
The Foundation is guided by a Board of Directors, which meets regularly. Each year RSF contributes thousands of dollars in grants, scholarships and other support to students and faculty, and recognizes excellence in teaching and service to the schools. Foundation staff members also assist in organization and fundraising for various programs that directly benefit students.
