Education Foundation www.cannonfallseducationfoundation.org
The Cannon Falls Education Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides funding for all types of creative and innovative educational programs and activities that are above and beyond the programs general education dollars can support. Since the Foundation's inception in 1993, it has given over $560,000 to our students. Each year the foundation hopes to invest more dollars into education. Our commitment will stay the same for the future: to continue to raise and provide funds for education. One-third of all funds raised are contributed to an endowment fund, to one day become a self-supporting educational organization.
