Annual Appeal

When you ask people why they live in or move to Fort Thomas, a common answer emerges: our exceptional public schools. Consistently ranked among the best in the state, our schools continue to shine—even though only 33% of their funding comes from the state.

This excellence doesn’t happen by chance. It happens because of YOU. Your generous support of the Fort Thomas Education Foundation (FTEF) helps bridge the gap in funding and provides the resources needed to deliver innovative programs, pioneering initiatives, and enhanced learning opportunities. With your help, we ensure that every student—at every grade level—has access to experiences that allow them to reach their full potential.

Last year alone, your donations enabled us to award $62,000 in teacher grants and contribute $90,000 to our growing endowment fund. Nearly every student in Fort Thomas Independent Schools, from preschool to high school, benefited from this support. That’s a powerful testament to what we can accomplish together.

As we approach the end of the year and you consider your charitable giving, we invite you to reflect on the impact your gift can have on future generations of Bluebirds.

Thank you for believing in public education. Thank you for supporting Fort Thomas.
