Foundations for Public Schools

 The New Light Group started by serving several Christian churches, schools, universities and organizations in creating and maintaining their foundations. This experience has developed a unique and engaging platform for public schools to establish foundations. The New Light Group is in a position to assist your school or district in a process that establishes support from all of the constituencies that are necessary for a successful public foundation. Our public education system must create additional creative resources that gives each student the chance to succeed in an ever challenging world.
