The Foundation Ambassador Program is an outreach initiative organized by grade levels. Ambassadors are parent volunteers who help provide information about District funding needs and The Foundation programs as well as generate enthusiasm for making donations to the Foundation. Ambassadors contact parents within each grade level through organized mail and phone appeals. Through informal interactions with District families, Ambassadors champion the need for additional funding and encourage donations of any amount.

Ambassadors help to put a face on the Foundation, and are the only direct link to the Foundation for many parents. Your work in this capacity is extremely important. In prior years, we have learned that 75% of parents who donated to the Foundation did so in response to the FAs' work. Thus, the 5 or so hours you spend during the course of this Campaign will make a tremendous positive impact on our success.

For those who are new to the FA program, here are some basics:

-->You will be assigned to a classroom at your child's school. In most cases, you will be the FA for a class in which your child is a student.

--> You will communicate formally with your assigned class in three ways: by writing a short note during the kick-off; by telephoning them toward the end of the Campaign; and by emailing them once or twice during the Campaign.

--> You will be provided with sample notes, prepared emails, and telephone scripts, so there is no need to be nervous about what to say or write.

--> You will communicate informally with your class should someone have a question about the Foundation.
