Empowering Students.
Supporting Educators.
Enriching Our Community.
We’re a nonprofit with one mission: to help every student thrive. From classroom grants to college scholarships, your support fuels brighter futures.
Since 1988, the RCPS Foundation has invested in Rockdale County’s future by funding scholarships, teacher grants, and programs that elevate public education from Pre-Kindergarten through graduation.
Our Initiatives
At the RCPS Foundation, we believe in the power of possibility. That’s why we fund programs that open doors, spark ideas, and celebrate every step forward—from teacher innovation in the classroom to students chasing their dreams through scholarships. Our initiatives are rooted in hope, driven by purpose, and made possible by a community that believes in public education.
Advocacy
We are proud advocates for the power and promise of public education. By sharing success stories, building community partnerships, and raising awareness of the needs in our schools, the RCPS Foundation helps amplify the voices of students and educators. Together, we champion a brighter future for Rockdale County—one where every child has the tools and support to succeed.
Scholarships
We believe every student should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams. That’s why the RCPS Foundation proudly supports four distinct scholarships: the REACH Scholarship for promising 8th graders, our RCPSF Scholarships for graduating seniors, the Collins Family Scholarships funded by generous donors, and the Superintendent’s Scholarship recognizing exceptional achievement. Each award represents more than financial support—it’s an investment in potential, purpose, and the bright future of Rockdale County students.
Grants
Great ideas deserve great support. Since 1989, our Foundation Grants have empowered Rockdale County teachers to turn bold ideas into hands-on learning—sparking curiosity, deepening understanding, and inspiring thousands of students every year. By funding innovative projects large and small, we give educators the resources to dream big and teach boldly, transforming classrooms into launchpads for limitless potential.

The Foundation supports creative and educationally beneficial activities through the grant program, provides teachers with opportunities to participate in continuing education, and recognizes outstanding achievements by students and educators.
