The Lowell Schools Fund offers flexible, fast-moving support that public dollars often can’t. It allows Lowell Public Schools to:

• Pilot new ideas and scale what works

• Fill funding gaps left by state or federal budgets

• Access resources without red tape or delays

Beyond funding, the LSF raises public awareness, spotlights innovation, and empowers the community to directly support its schools. It’s a vital complement to public funding — not a replacement.

The Lowell Schools Fund is managed by Project LEARN, an independent nonprofit that partners closely with Lowell Public Schools, community leaders, and local organizations. Funding decisions are made collaboratively with LPS leadership to ensure alignment with district priorities.
