TEMPE IMPACT EDUCATION (TIE) FOUNDATION

 
What is the Tempe Impact Education Foundation

The Tempe Impact Education Foundation was established in 1990 to provide extraordinary opportunities to the children of the District.  Although children receive a strong basic education in Tempe, Arizona's funding formula for education is one of the lowest in the United States.  Consequently, our children are deprived of experiences which children in other states receive as a matter of course.

The Tempe Impact Education Foundation was established to make up for some of those deprivations.  Working with private and corporate donors, national philantropies, and government agencies,our intent is to focus on the unprovided needs of children and teachers.

Our efforts will take time and perserverance.  Hundreds of citzens in Tempe will become the benefactors.  Thousands of children will benefit.  The goal of the Tempe Impact Education Foundation is to enrich and enhance the District's commitment to excellence.

WE EXPECT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
