Everyone wants to leave his or her mark on the world.  One way you can make a difference in the world and in Nelson County specifically is by making a tax deducible gift to the Nelson County Public Schools Foundation which is designed to support public education in our community.

The NCPSF is endowed in perpetuity to benefit countless children who attend, or will attend, Nelson County schools; its mission is to sustain vital initiatives and to support those areas of greatest need. 

You can specify how you would like your gift to be used, or you may give a general gift.  A general gift will be applied in a manner deemed most beneficial to the school community by the fund’s advisors.  Whatever its size, your gift can make a difference in the lives of Nelson County’s children.

The fund is established with the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation. 

Please contact Shannon Irvin at the Nelson County School Board Office, at 434-260-7646 extension 1003, if you would like to receive more information about the foundation.
