What is the Roseville Area Schools Foundation?
The Roseville Area Schools Foundation, started in the late 1980’s. It is dedicated to helping make Roseville Area Schools educational program a model for excellence and innovation. Grants are awarded to teachers and programs within District 623. Please view our Annual Report.

The Roseville Area Schools Foundation seeks support from individuals, foundations and corporations who are interested in public education.
We also seek funds from staff, parents, alumni, and retirees of our school system. One of largest sources of funds comes from the Roseville Area Schools Fall Giving Campaign.
