The mission of the foundation is to supplement existing revenue in order to foster excellence in teaching, learning and service. The Foundation engages in a number of activities throughout the year to raise funds for the District. For more information about any of these programs, contact Chris Macon. Friends of the Foundation
Joining the Friends of the Foundation is an option the parents/guardians
can take advantage of when they register their student each year. There is a place on the fee statement to choose to be a “Friend” for $25 per year. Funds raised through this program are used to fund Enrichment Grants for teachers or at the discretion of the Foundation according to the priorities of the District. Tailgate Knight
An annual cookout and “friendraiser” prior to a home football game of the year. The cost is only $10 per person for all you can eat. Annual Campaign
The Annual Campaign is a direct mail solicitation of Nicolet stakeholders, typically done at the end of the calendar year, to secure unrestricted income to be used in the area of greatest need. Knight on the Town
This is the annual benefit gala to raise funds for Enrichment Grants. The evening includes food, entertainment, silent and voice auctions. Gift Brick Program
