FORWARD is a 501(c)(3) organization that distinguishes itself as a means for private giving separate from the core school district budget.

​

The foundation: ​

• Solicits, manages and distributes funds solely to the School District of River Falls

• Enhances learning opportunities for students by further enriching the curricula

• Empowers educators by funding new learning tools and initiatives

• Is run entirely by an all-volunteer board of community members

Forward Foundation was established in 2012. 

​

FORWARD awards approximately $20,000 each year for innovative projects in the River Falls School District!

 

Every school in the district has benefited from FORWARD grants.
