The 2025 Schoolanthropy Luncheon

We're not your average foundation. And this isn't your average school lunch.

Philanthropy is not limited to corporations or big donors. We believe everyone can have an impact on education through investing financially, volunteering, or simply exuding a spirit of support for our public schools. We call the support of public education “schoolanthropy.”

The Schoolanthropy Luncheon is the CMS Foundation’s largest fundraising event of the year. We invite you to join us for our 2025 experience.

Learn how we are deepening our focus in innovation and expanding unique opportunities for students and educators in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. With student features, educator highlights, and insights from CMS and community leaders, this special experience will bring together “schoolanthropists” from all walks of life to celebrate and support the students and educators in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

Doors open at 11:30 AM with the formal program starting at 12:00 PM
