• The Sidney Community Education Foundation, Inc. was formed in 2001 by concerned community members. In early 2012, directors sought a name change.  The Foundation's official name was changed to the Sidney Education and Alumni Foundation.  Additionally, the directors filed for an assumed business name with the State of Montana.  The official business name is Eagle Foundation, Inc. 

    The goal of the Foundation is to develop a long term method to finance school projects which the Foundation Board feels will enhance the quality of education in the Sidney Public Schools. An added benefit of the Foundation is to provide a method for community members to make a tax deductible contribution or to procure a tax credit by their donation to this foundation.

    Through the Foundation’s efforts, our goals are to solicit and receive public donations, gifts, contributions, grants, loans, funds, property or assets from which to make distributions for the benefit of the Sidney Public School Districts.
