The Forum School Foundation that was established in 1963 – about a decade after the school opened its doors – has a singular mission: to ensure the fiscal stability and integrity of the school.

Over the years, scores of civic-minded community leaders have volunteered their time and talent to help guide the Foundation. “For all of us, it is just a matter of helping out,” said John Albohm, President and Chairman of the Foundation.

While the Foundation has hosted dinner dances and other events, the biggest and most well recognized fundraiser was the sale of Forum Feasts, a cookbook that sold more than 300,000 copies in 22 printings and generated more than $1M in sales to support the school. First produced in 1967, the cookbook caught the attention of socialite Amy Vanderbilt, who called it “remarkable.”

It is because of the foundation that The Forum School has been able to launch a major construction project. Recent renovations to the building, including new lighting and security features, have been fully funded by the Foundation. Safety improvements – front door entrance way, new public address system, cameras, and one-touch lock down systems – reflect the very real concerns of the 21st century.
