Education Foundation Trust

The Buccaneer Foundation was established in December of 1999 by interested citizens of the East Buchanan Community School District with the support of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools.

The Foundation was created to provided additional financial funding to the East Buchanan Community School District in the pursuit of maintaining, developing, increasing and extending the facilities, programs, services and educational opportunities for our students and residents of the district.

Current federal and state spending laws limit the educational and extra curricular programs presently offered by our school district; therefore, it is becoming increasingly necessary to seek outside funding so that we can provide our students, faculty and community with special programs and services that otherwise would not be available.

The Buccaneer Foundation neither uses nor replaces the existing tax revenue allotted for education by the federal, state and local governments. Instead, the foundation operates completely independent of the school system, raising private funds to supplement these tax dollars to enrich the quality of education at East Buchanan Schools.

The Buccaneer Foundation is overseen and guided by an independent board of directors, comprised of farm, business, education, and civic leaders who represent a broad cross section of the community.

All contributions to the Buccaneer Foundation are tax deductible. whether derived from individuals, social and civic groups, or businesses and industries. This tax-saving benefit is automatically given to foundation donors under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Gifts can take the form of:

  • Memorials
  • Securities
