Is a nonprofit organization established to promote educational excellence by providing resources to support work that enriches the education, development, and well-being of all sunnyside unified school district ?susd? Children. The susd is the second largest school district in pima county, arizona and serves more than 14,000 students. Over 80% of the children live below the poverty line. Since its inception, susdf has expanded their capacity to strategically coalesce a collective power within tucson?s southside community, relieving hardship and ensuring easier access to educational and economic opportunities for its people. Their three funding priorities include excellence in education, emergency relief, and community investment. The excellence in education fund enhances the educational experience and opportunities for susd students and educators by providing funding for classroom projects and supplies in the areas of literacy, stem, health & wellness, and arts & culture; scholarships for graduating seniors and dual enrollment courses, professional development through communityshare, and investing in strengthening career & technical educational courses. The emergency relief fund focuses on addressing the root causes of community challenges by building upon and amplifying the excellent work, mutual support, and advocacy that south side community members are already doing. This work has included emergency rental, mortgage and utility payments to families, food box and toiletries distribution, and digital equity work including in-home wifi installation. The community investment fund was established to support community improvement initiatives which build upon the work currently underway by community members, local organizations, and within the larger south side of tucson. The susdf is constantly seeking and securing new financial resources through national and local organizations and entities where the organization and donors work together on specific, impactful projects to serve susd students and the larger south side community. Their programs are vital for continued success.”
