The Brainerd Public Schools Foundation (BPSF) was created in 1987 to simply facilitate and encourage scholarships. Its quiet history, unknown to many people, has seen the Foundation grow from three initial deposits to over 90 dedicated scholarship funds, issuing over $180,000 in scholarships annually.

Since 1996, BPSF has awarded over $250,000 in grants to teachers for special projects that have significantly impacted student learning. These grants are funded through general donations, BPS staff campaign donations, the Big Event, and other event proceeds, as well as specifically endowed funds held by BPSF.
