“We’re a new foundation in the Coos Bay community, and we’re hoping to grow in the coming years, so we can provide funding for more great opportunities for kids to learn,” said Nancy Tedder, foundation president.

The foundation is a community-based, not-for-profit organization separate from the Coos Bay School District.
Coos Bay Schools Superintendent, is thrilled to see this grassroots effort to help schools: “As we face more and more cutbacks to our school budgets, we are grateful to those who make sure we can continue to provide a quality education to our students,” Superintendent Bob De La Vergne said.
