The Branson Education Foundation awarded $32,838.50 in classroom grants and scholarships during the 2025-26 school year, continuing its mission to expand opportunities for students and educators across the Branson School District.
Established in 2010 as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Foundation manages charitable donations that directly support Branson Schools through monthly classroom grants, educator resources, student experiences and senior scholarships.
Since its founding, the Foundation has awarded more than $280,000. Funds are raised through several community events, including the annual Community Breakfast welcoming new teachers and local business partners, the Homecoming Tailgate Dinner, and the Foundation’s newest event, A Night in the Arts, which celebrates student art and performance while benefiting all 14 Stone and Taney County school districts.
“Our teachers continue to bring creativity, passion, and dedication into their classrooms every day,” said Branson Education Foundation Chairman, Sarah Rein. “The Foundation is honored to help provide resources that inspire learning and create new opportunities for students.”
Community members can support the Foundation through donations, volunteer involvement, and partnerships. For more information or to donate, contact [email protected] or visit www.bransoneducationfoundation.org.
