Sioux City Public Schools Foundation provides life-changing – even life-saving – support for low income families in Sioux City through programs and services focused on student need in education.
Closing the education gap
Worrying about where you will be sleeping at night or if you will have food for your next meal are adult problems that should not be on students’ minds. Unfortunately, every day, there are hundreds of students in the Sioux City Community School District that are impacted by these grown-up issues.

A focus on student need
Sioux City Public Schools Foundation invests thousands of dollars every year, leveling the educational field for students. The Foundation supports students from low-income homes to ensure every student has equal access to programs, experiences, and classroom supplies. Its focus on student need addresses literacy gaps in the District where one in five students is learning English as a second language. Student need funds also serve as a springboard for talented and gifted students, providing opportunities for excellence above and beyond the classroom experience.
By supporting the Foundation, you will ensure:
Accessible playground equipment is available for all elementary students
Graduating seniors who cannot afford a cap and gown are prepared for graduation
Backpacks and school supplies are available to help students start the school year successfully
Warm coats are ready for students who do not have clothing for the winter months
Make a life-changing impact on Sioux City students. Give a gift to ensure every student can focus on their education.
Approximately seven out of 10 students in the Sioux City Community School District qualify for free or reduced meals.
