Faribault Public Schools partners with families and the community to educate, elevate and empower every student to achieve their full potential. It’s a commitment we make to Every Falcon. Every Day. While public funding covers the essentials, our specialized community programs rely on the generosity of neighbors like you to truly bridge gaps, enhance accessibility, and create life-changing opportunities outside the standard classroom. 

When you invest in our community donation funds, 100% of your contribution goes directly toward breaking down financial barriers and creating meaningful experiences. Whether you are helping a child start the first day of school with confidence, providing inclusive recreational opportunities for youth and adults of all abilities, or giving a student the tools to become a safe, independent driver, your generosity transforms lives right here in Faribault.
