Annual Report

For the 2024–2025 school year, VSF played a vital role in closing the gap between what our community expects from public education and what state funding provides. VSF invested $188,000 directly into our schools—supporting essential programs and services that enrich students’ learning and well-being.

At the same time, strong fundraising throughout the 2025 calendar year positioned us for continued impact. These additional resources are enabling support for the 2025–2026 school year while thoughtfully reserving funds to help sustain programs into 2026–2027.
