Orono Foundation for Education

YOUR GIFTS MAKE THE 'ORONO DIFFERENCE'

Imagine an Orono without:

• character education across Pre-K to 12th Grade,
• literacy and reading intervention programs for our youngest learners,
• access to foreign language development in Kindergarten through 8th Grade,
• innovative technology resources such as robots, drones, and 3D printers,
• advanced placement (AP) courses increasing academic rigor for students pursuing post-secondary options,
• teacher access to professional development opportunities,
• connections with top colleges around the nation, 
• and so much more. 

The generosity of the Orono Schools community has made all of the above possible and sustained academic excellence in our district through contributions to the Orono Foundation for Education. We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to thrive. State funding alone doesn't allow Orono Schools to expand initiatives that will have a positive and lasting impact on current and future generations of learners. Help us raise funds for today's needs and tomorrow's dreams by giving today!
