LOWELL

SCHOOLS

FUND

Helping donors support bold solutions for Lowell’s students.

The Lowell Schools Fund is a Project LEARN initiative exclusively dedicated to raising funds for Lowell Public Schools.

More than ever before in the city’s history, our community must step up for Lowell’s public schools. Through the Lowell Schools Fund (LSF), your support will mobilize community fundraising for vital learning programs not supported by public funding.

Public Schools Matter

Public Schools…

…are the foundation of a thriving democracy

…educate every student—they don’t pick and choose

…build strong communities and bring people together

…embrace, feed, and care for our most vulnerable children

…are an engine of our local and regional economies

Questions

    • Project LEARN is the official education foundation of Lowell Public Schools, but also serves the Lowell community as a whole through programs such as ArtUp Lowell and BookNooks. The LSF is a targeted fundraising initiative run by Project LEARN designed to create new streams of funding specifically for the unique needs of Lowell Public Schools and the over 14,000 students currently enrolled. 

    • In this time of funding cuts and growing hostility toward public schools, Lowell’s students and educators need to see and feel their community’s support. With over 77% of LPS students being classified as “high needs,” we know this is a moment of both urgency and opportunity in our community. 

    • During the pilot year of the Lowell Schools Fund, we have worked with the Lowell Public Schools’ Superintendent's Office to identify three funding buckets for the 2025-2026 school year: The Connect Up Programs Fund, The Teacher Innovation Fund, and The Endowment Fund.
