About the Foundation


Since 1986, Tanque Verde Schools Educational Enrichment Foundation (TVF) has been an active support arm for the educational mission of the Tanque Verde School District. As a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation we rely on your support and commitment to raise funds which provide additional support to the students and faculty of the district for educational materials that are not covered by the regular district budget.

These funding requests have only been made available to the students, faculty and staff of TVUSD through your kind donations. For the 2022-23 school year we plan to host the Nerdy Derby, which has been growing in popularity and are only successful with your help.
