About Osseo Area Schools Employee Giving Campaign

Osseo Area Schools Employee Giving Campaign will take place from October 6 through October 17. During the campaign, you have an opportunity to voluntarily make a fully tax-deductible donation to District 279 Foundation and/or Greater Twin Cities United Way. Both of these organizations serve children and families who live in the communities served by our school district. 

  • District 279 Foundation enhances Osseo Area Schools dedication to all scholars by funding innovative projects and recognizing the achievements of scholars and staff at the annual Investment in Youth celebration. 
  • Greater Twin Cities United Way believes when we unite as changemakers we can disrupt systems and address the challenges no one can solve alone. Together, we will create a more equitable community where all people thrive regardless of income, race, or place. There is also an option to designate a non-profit of your choosing through Greater Twin Cities United Way.

Osseo Area Schools has a history of being one of the highest performing school districts in the Greater Twin Cities United Way service area. Last year, Osseo Area Schools employees raised over $46,870 to support District 279 Foundation and the Greater Twin Cities United Way.

As a changemaker, you have the power to transform our community. Your support will continue the spirit of giving that is prevalent in our school district community. View these videos to learn more about the impact of your contribution.
