Loveland Schools Foundation
-
Our Vision is to promote, serve and support the academic, artistic, cultural, scientific, and service projects of the Loveland City School District.
Established in 2000, the Loveland Schools Foundation is a non-profit 501 © (3) organization established to garner income to supplement the school district’s budget with the purchase of materials that are not included in the regular school budget but are important to individual faculty for the better learning of Loveland’s students.
Believing that a good education provides for better workplace personnel, the Foundation envisions working with teachers, administrators, parents, local community leaders and businesses to form a stronger bond and interest in the Loveland City Schools.
Programs

Scholarships
Educational costs continue to rise and it is the desire of the Loveland Schools Foundation to assist young and promising scholars to become better community members through assistance with their education beyond high school. To this end, the Foundation offers scholarships to graduating seniors. The number of scholarships and the amount of money given varies from year to year. Some are career-specific and others are more general. Scholarships are presented in May at the Senior Awards Night.All scholarship giving is based on academic qualifications, the character of the applicant, service to the community, determination to complete the course of study chosen, and need. For all scholarships, when criteria have been met and are equal, financial need is the determining element.While the Foundation recognizes that a strong academic background is conducive to success in a higher education program, members of the Board of Trustees also recognize the needs of students attending a two-year college program and technical schools. Therefore students interested in furthering their education in any capacity beyond high school are encouraged to apply for one of the Foundation scholarships which do not specify a particular major.
Students should check with the guidance department at the high school beginning in early to mid-January for the posting of Foundation scholarships that will be given that year. -
Mini Grant Program
Since 2001, the Foundation has offered yearly mini-grants to the faculty and administrators of the district. At the beginning of the second semester, the faculty is provided applications for these grants and are encouraged to request needed items and innovative classroom items which can not be purchased through the normal school budgetary channels. These items may include but are not limited to classroom speakers, supplemental reading materials, field trips, alternative seating such as Wiggle Seats, ball chairs and comfortable and flexible environmental furniture, small musical instruments, and equipment.

2023 Emergency Relief Fund
-
As a result of the failed levy in November 2022, there will be no additional funding for Loveland School District in 2023. Even if a levy were to pass this year, funding would not begin until 2024.
The district is in deficit spending. This will result in several cuts. Several community members are collaborating with Loveland Schools Foundation to help raise money for our district to minimize as many cuts as possible. If you supported the 2022 levy and would like to donate what you would have paid in 2023 with your increased property taxes (or any amount), all money will be given directly to the district. This will not replace a levy. A levy generates millions of dollars per year. This is simply a bridge of emergency funding to preserve and protect any programs possible.
Any contribution is much appreciated. You can donate via PayPal @Loveland Schools Foundation, noting it is for the 2023 Emergency Relief Fund, or by sending a check made out to Loveland Schools Foundation, with 2023 Emergency Relief Fund in the memo, to Loveland Schools Foundation 757 S Lebanon Rd Loveland, OH 45140
All money collected for the 2023 Emergency Relief Fund will be given directly to the district.
