CMS Foundation

The CMS Foundation invests in innovation to help Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) address big challenges and expand opportunities for our students and educators. As the nonprofit fundraising partner for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, we harness the power of philanthropy to seed innovative ideas and accelerate system-wide transformation. 

A great community must have a great public school system. We believe that by working together, we can make Charlotte-Mecklenburg a national leader in public education, where teaching is an iconic profession and opportunity abounds for every child.
