Eden Prairie Schools

Help every Eden Prairie student belong, learn and thrive — no matter their financial circumstance.

In Eden Prairie Schools, our students have a wide range of life experiences, talents and passions, and that makes our community stronger. We believe each person has intrinsic value, and we want every student to know they belong at school — even when they may face financial challenges at home.

Our community’s strong support in last year’s Give to the Max Day made a huge difference for families experiencing homelessness or financial hardship!  Last year, gifts covered the cost of 91 summer EPIC camp experiences for students. And of the 195 students identified as experiencing homelessness during the school year, many received support through our Family Resources program, including school supplies, transportation assistance and basic necessities.

This year, we want to do even more. Your gift helps us support more students and families with:

• School supplies and everyday essentials

• Transportation assistance

• Direct supports for families facing financial hardship

• Access to enrichment experiences, such as EPIC camps

Our goal is $9,461: one dollar for every student enrolled in Eden Prairie Schools for the 2026-27 school year. Every gift brings us closer, and because needs change throughout the year, your gift supports students and families where the need is greatest.

Building on strong community support
We’re proud to have community satisfaction scores that top the state! In our most recent statistically valid, third-party survey, 99% of families said the community receives good value from its investment in our schools, 98% believe the quality of education we provide is excellent or good, and 98% trust us to do what's right for students. Your donation helps us give that same excellent Eden Prairie Schools experience to all students, even those who face financial hardship.

We're grateful for your support of each and every student. Thank you, and Go Eagles!
