About the Foundation
The Regional Multicultural Magnet School Foundation was formed in 1998 to provide support for the Regional Multicultural Magnet School (RMMS), serving southeastern Connecticut. The school is a voluntary desegregation program located in New London that serves kindergarten through fifth grade students. The program has a strong multicultural focus and is based on students having first hand learning experiences.

The Regional Multicultural Magnet School Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that serves the students of the Regional Multicultural Magnet School but it is a separate entity. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. All monies raised are given back to the school to support cultural and educational programs.

The foundation raises funds through individual donations, matching grants and fundraising events. We respond to financial needs in the RMMS community that aren't covered by the school's budget. The process begins with proposals submitted by an RMMS community member on behalf of the students. They are reviewed by our Board of Directors and funded to the extent our annual budget allows.

The Board of Directors meets monthly from 5 to 6pm at the Regional Multicultural Magnet School. All are welcome to attend.  If you would be interested in becoming a member of the Board of Directors, please contact Jim Sammons, President of the Board, 860-536-3794.
