The Framingham High School Foundation (FHSF) is a parent run 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to financially supplement arts, activities and athletics at Framingham High School.

FHSF can fund a number of things including transportation, championship travel expenses, equipment and supplies and uniform support. FHSF CANNOT fund any salaries or stipends.

Any coaches, club advisors, or teachers on behalf of an extracurricular group.

Grab an application form. Fill out the information and then have it signed by BOTH Carolyn Banach and the FHSF administration representative (Mark Albright for Arts and Activities and Paul Spear for Athletics). Then scan the form and email it using the contact form below.

Once we receive the form, it will be circulated to the FHSF Member Board and in most cases, you will have an answer within 7 days.

There are a few ways that you will be expected to support the Foundation.

  • Sell ads for the Salute to Framingham (FHSF’s primary annual fundraiser-held in March)
  • Assist with the Holiday Marketplace, setting up, assisting vendors with loading/unloading
    their vehicles. Usually held in December.
  • Soliciting private, tax deductible donations for FHSF which can be designated for your team
    or activity.
The decisions of the Foundation board are final. All appeals need to go through Carolyn Banach.
