Independent organization
The Climax-Scotts Community Schools Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. While our primary mission is to support and benefit the students, staff, and programs of Climax-Scotts Community Schools, the Foundation is a separate legal and financial entity. The Foundation is not governed by, directly affiliated with, or an agent of the Climax-Scotts Community Schools, the C-S School Board or administration. Contributions made to the Foundation are managed independently to fulfill our mission of educational support.
