Who We Are

The Grinnell-Newburg School Foundation (GNSF) is a non-profit dedicated to strengthening public education in the Grinnell community. GNSF makes a meaningful difference in education by supporting students, empowering staff, and enriching the experiences that happen every day in our schools. Through community support and strategic investment, our foundation provides resources and opportunities that strengthen learning, inspire growth, and help our entire school community thrive.

What We Do

GNSF promotes and supports the Grinnell-Newburg Community School District through a range of funds, grants, and student-led initiatives — along with our very own podcast — all designed to enhance teaching and learning for every student in the district. By connecting resources with real classroom needs, GNSF works to ensure that students and educators alike have what they need to succeed.
