Apex Foundation Suspends Fundraising, Reevaluates Mission
Apex, NC – On January 29, 2026, the Apex Public School Foundation announced changes to its operations. The foundation, which has supported Wake County schools for eight years through creativity, innovation, and collaboration, has provided over $85,000 in teacher grants to local schools. The grants have helped equip classrooms with new tools and curricula, and the foundation has also recognized local educators and provided wellness programming for the community.
The foundation reported that increased donations and a growing number of grant applications have stretched the capacity of its volunteer leadership team. Several board members are set to leave at the end of the year without identified replacements. As a result, the organization is reevaluating its mission and capabilities.
The foundation announced that it will suspend all fundraising efforts, including recurring and pledged donations, for an unspecified period. The announcement encouraged the community to reach out with any questions or comments as the organization considers its next steps.
