OUR LEGACY. OUR FUTURE.

The Urbandale Schools and Alumni Foundation (URBSAF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to enhancing the educational experience of all students and educators in the Urbandale Community School District by funding projects and initiatives not supported within existing school budgets. 

We are in a unique position to provide support for Urbandale schools, award scholarships to Urbandale High School graduates and connect Urbandale alumni through the partnership of URBSAF, Urbandale Alumni Association and Urbandale Dollars for Scholars.

 

A Note to the Community
The Urbandale Schools and Alumni Foundation (URBSAF) has served the Urbandale community since 1992, when we were founded as the Urbandale Education Foundation. Our roots run even deeper through Dollars for Scholars, the oldest Dollars for Scholars chapter in the State of Iowa, which has supported Urbandale students since 1962 and now operates under our foundation. Over the years, we have grown to include the Urbandale Alumni Association and our Making a Difference Grants program for educators, becoming the Urbandale Schools and Alumni Foundation we are today.
As a 501(c)(3) community foundation with more than three decades of history, we remain committed to supporting Urbandale Community School District students, teachers, and staff through Dollars for Scholars scholarships and Making a Difference Grants.
We recognize that a separate foundation with a similar name has recently formed in Urbandale. URBSAF is not affiliated with this new foundation. If you wish to support Urbandale students and educators through our established Dollars for Scholars program and Making a Difference Grants program please ensure you are donating directly to URBSAF.
If you have specific questions, feel free to reach out to our President, Amy Gulling, at gullinga@urbsaf.org.
