The Albion Education Foundation is a non-profit organization that was established in 1990 to support the Boone Central Schools, including St. Michaels Grade School. The foundation helps to enhance the quality of education beyond the regular academic program by providing enrichment and augmentation activities. The foundation works closely with the school district, but maintains its own independence. It is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under IRS Section 509(A)(3) and all contributions to the foundation are tax-deductible.

DONATIONS: If you like what we do, or want to help out in any way, a donation is a great way to participate. Our focus depends upon donors' wishes. At this time, Albion Education Foundation supports the Olson/Wolf Loan Fund, Harold Rudman scholarships for Boone County High School graduates their senior year, local scholarships for Boone Central grads, grants for enrichment within Boone Central teachers' preK-12 classrooms and St. Michael's,( Albion) preK-8 classrooms, Olson Nature Preserve management by Prairie Plains Institute, Cardinal Kids Club and Boone Beginnings scholarships and program funding, among others as they need.
